WOMEN'S World Cup 2022-2023

Big win for Shiffy!

 

[Swede]

It seemed like Stenmark went there because LV publicly pleaded with him to go to Are.
Let’s go Shiffy.

It was the WCH, that's why Stenmark went there. He also ran a "senior" comp. with Anja Persson and Pernilla Wiberg, AAmodt and a few others, so he was planned into the program. Had zero to do with Lindsey.

Nice to see Hector podium at home.

 

[Bolder]

Very classy to tie Stenmark in his home country! That's got to be a load off her mind.

Hah. Well Vonn’s team and the US media pretty much spun it that he was there because she asked him to come.

That is the GS globe for MS and she now has a 903 point lead in the overall. That is very nearly double second place Petra's point total 1,928 to 1,025. One of the most dominant seasons I can recall. 2019 was close, but on percentage terms this is a bigger lead.

Shiffrin knocked it in with the stivvy of the century coming into the finish slope, and shared the podium with Brignone (upper 3/4 of run 2 were a masterclass) and Hector, who puts energy into a ski like we all wish we could. Great race.

First run.

Mikaela seemed pretty relaxed, very smooth. Doesn’t “look” fast.
Of the top skiers, she went into this sequence setup the best by far. Most got too much air or were slightly off balance coming down after the roller before.

 

[4ster]

Her first run was about as good as it gets!

Shiffrin 1st run-

——————-
Clearly pleased with her skiing in the opening run, Shiffrin smiled and said “yeah” to herself after seeing her time in the finish area.

“It’s one of the few runs in my life where, while I was skiing it, I was thinking, ‘This is good,’” Shiffrin told TV6.

Mikaela Shiffrin gets her record 86th World Cup victory

ARE, Sweden (AP) — Moments after winning her record-tying 86th World Cup race, Mikaela Shiffrin was asked by a Swedish broadcaster to directly address Ingemar Stenmark, the skiing standout who had …

Moltzan 15th. She’s got 1/4 of a box of screws in her hand.

———-
Another encouraging American performance, somewhat lost in the celebration surround Shiffrin, was Paula Moltzan coming in 15th. Moltzan had surgery three weeks ago.

“Hand is hanging in there,” said Moltzan, who had surgery three weeks ago. “They put in three plates and 25 screw to stabilize fractures in my third, fourth and fifth metacarpals. Currently GS is a lot easier to manage than slalom. I have had one day of slalom since before world champs with a couple runs to test it. Just hoping to give it my all tomorrow with minimal pain.”

I just came here to talk about Paula but James beat me to it. I thought she’d be done for the season.

Heres hoping Paula's hand survives Saturdays slalom. Congratulations to Michaela, a truly long way from the little girl racing in her driveway to the most successful ski racer ever. AND, I would like to add that I saw that her early solid skiing in the driveway would take her far. For those of you who followed my coaching career I have a pair of 207 Miller noddle skis that are great on ice, only $1,000.00
