Women’s World Cup 2021

[S.H.]

Goggia wins, then Ledecka in 2nd, followed by Breezy Johnson in 3rd, with Petra Vlhova in 4th.

big points pickup for Vlhova with Gisin out of the points in 33rd

Michelle needs to talk to big sister about DH.

There goes my great theory about Gisin picking up more points than Vlhova in speed races

I think the sprint format as well as the fact that the lower part of the CM track favors technical skiers played to Vlhova's strengths.

Gisin also historically pretty bad in CM DHs. Not sure why the track doesn't agree with her, but it doesn't.

Curious to see how tomorrow and Sunday go - Gisin has reasonable SG results at CM, as well as the rest of speed.

Big day toward the overall for Vlhova & a buzz kill for Gisin.
Goggia had to work for it after Ledecka’s near perfect aggressive run.

Just watching US skier Isabella Wright ski into 20th from bib 44 as I am posting.

Lindsey Vonn is slated to be in the commentators booth for these races, was she today?
Tomorrow...

Gonna have to go for Goggia again. In fact I can’t go against Ledecka and Johnson for the other 2 spots.

Porino and Schlanger did today’s race. Based on SkiRacing.com it looks like Vonn will do the Saturday and Sunday races. It will be interesting to see how she does. Some former, or active, USST members like Bode Miller and recently Steven Nyman, and probably others although they are the ones who I can recall offhand have been really interesting to listen to. Some others haven’t always seemed to be as comfortable as commentators. Hopefully they don’t have to lower the start again on Saturday

From the top today!

From the top today!

Thanks.
I am peeking at this thread through one slightly open eye hoping to see that the race was not cancelled but gambling that I will not see results. l will check back this evening after I have watched.
Finally snowing in Utah...

Better race today with the full course. Watched the NBCSN broadcast & thought Lindsey Vonn did a really nice job & exceeded expectations.
Goggia goes full throttle in the flat light with a big improvement from Gut-Berhrami.

Tomorrow’s SG...

Gut-Berhrami
Brignone
Goggia

DH Saturday 23rd: Goggia in 1st, Gut-Behrami 2nd, Curtoni in 3rd, Piravano in 4th, and Breezy Johnson 5th--6 Italian women in the top 20.

SG Sunday 24th: Gut-Behrami wins, then Tippler, Brignone in 3rd, and Marsaglia in 4th.

 

[Teppaz]

Heartbreaker for Goggia: so busy trying to avoid a crash, she missed that last gate after the final jump.

 

[geepers]

Any news on Ledecka? Appeared to be holding her left arm although she did ski down slowly afterwards.

She skied the SG today withbandaged face (blood was dripping from cuts yesterday).

The Italian women kicked butt (I have no affiliation other than the fact that I'm 100% Italian in my ancestry).

 

[Tony S]

KG GS#1 Run 2. 4 skiers, same start instance. Shiffrin and Robinson play swaps - Robinson ended a few hundredths ahead of MS - whilst Ballino skis off into the distance. Vhola in between.

Ignore the thumbnail....

Guess I gotta bookmark this for the big monitor. Indecipherable on little phone. I love these video comparisons, though.

I am a big of the Italian women's team too, and I am 0% Italian.
But I like pasta. Does that count?

 

[Blue Streak]

BTW, I think Lindsay did a great job with commentary on the SG today.

 

[James]

Isabella Wright of the US, bib 38, had quite the Klammeresque run. She did pretty well, 28th and 2.46 back, just ahead of Gisin.
