She blipped on my radar this summer while she was racing in South America. Daughter of Italian world cupper Daniella Cicarelli but racing for Albania. She also has Slalom chops & starts 46th today!

For the last 10 years or so, I thought women’s GS was the most fun and competitive. Beginning to think women slalom is the shizz right now, looks to me like anyone of those top 5 could take it!…

Looks like Colturi DNF’d

ABSOLLUTELY !!!! ME TOO!!!

All the women are amazing as athletes, and seemingly, as human beings.
I find myself cheering on every one as a favorite.
And now these teenagers are coming out charging !!!

And it’s not that the mens side of things isn’t at a remarkable level either - but these women are just mesmerizing, and enchanting, and inspirational.

Wendy!!! Finally. Shared 1st with ASL!

Happy to see those two win... Shiffrin looked "off" or rougher compared to the other top finishers.

Seems to me she left the Start House with the wrong mindset, and wasn't able to change to "attack mode" mid-run.

BREAKING: Mikaela Shiffrin is not going to Lake Louise.

She told me so not 10 minutes ago. She will return to Europe to train.

 

[Swiss Toni]

Endlich! Herzliche Glückwünsche zum Sieg!!!

Yeah it looked like Shiffy had time to order a pizza between some of those mid mountain turns.

I have some post-race commentary from Shiffrin in the big article.

 

[Viking9]

I liked the look of that 9 year old Canadian.
She seems to have something worth keeping an eye on.

 

[Swede]

ASL ”lost” that on the top.

 

[Viking9]

That’s some great stuff Rudi, great shot of Mrs Worley and her Rossi’s !!

How did the snow hold up at Killington?

This is another cool story of a young skier rising to the occasion.

I’m pretty sure the scoreboard at Killington had her listed at 28yrs old. But maybe we read it wrong.

Franziska Gritsch held the lead forever on the second run. She seemed upset in the finish, looking like she didn’t do well. Just judging from her reaction, I expected her time to be beat quickly. Nope.

Light rain started pretty much when Shiffrin was in the finish 2nd run. So as far as I know, it wasn’t raining. There were a fair amount of people out skiing.
Killington did a good job with the buses. I parked down at the Skyeship, 5.5 miles away. Worked out great.

Watching from finish area. Second run in that area was a good crowd right of cameras. Lots of cow bells and the guy with the old car horn.

Inspecting 2nd set.
