Just a shout out to the contributors here. Your input and discourse was far superior to what has appeared on the Ski Racing website, which was limited to the AP news release and a nice article on the crowd by Edie Thys Morgan. Oh, and some comments by questionably informed readers along the lines of "they would have raced in my day" and "if it was a junior race they would have held it". I'm guessing they've not been on a FIS jury.
On a positive note a big thanks to the Killington race crew for trying to pull this off. I know how much work goes into this even in the best of circumstances.
Looking forward to SL tomorrow.
Picks:
Vlhova (best I've ever seen her ski, material and technique are in sync)
Duerr (carrying momentum from Levi, rock solid technique)
Slokar (coming on strong, she's going to be in the lead group soon)
