Lara Colturi (2006) making her WC debut! Skied well in SA this summer.
Wow, won’t be 16 till mid November!Lara Colturi (2006) making her WC debut! Skied well in SA this summer.
Daughter of Daniella Ceccarelli. Representing Albania. Youngest World Cup debut in a super long time.
I had Brignone winning, then switched to Shiffrin and Bassino. Wonder if it’s too steep for Bassino to shine though.Shiffrin
Brignone
Worley
Colutri won 10 races this summer in Chile/Argentina.Earlier this week I was thinking Worley for the win but I switched my thinking & pick to Shiffrin.

I watched a few of Colturi’s SA runs this summer. I think she won one when Hector had trouble in the 2nd run.
I guess US skier Jemison (they have her down as Sunshine on the start list) was pretty good on Europa Cup or NorAm last year.
I put Brignone in there because she probably won’t hold back if the conditions are gnarly & her #1 start. Probably should’ve thrown Robinson & Hector in there too just cuz you know they’ll throw down.I had Brignone winning, then switched to Shiffrin and Bassino. Wonder if it’s too steep for Bassino to shine though.
Heh, i forgot who i picked so I went and looked, and the editor had chopped out my number 2 before posting. It’s in now. Bassino. I have about a 30% confidence level in my picks. I’m taking a flyer on Gisin.
I guess I wasn’t paying close enough attention. Any way she (Colturi) looked solidColutri won 10 races this summer in Chile/Argentina.
Hector only had 1 FIS start this summer, and won a GS in Argentina, Colturi was 5th behind three other Swedes.
I came here to say.US…

Are you in Austria?Well, Mom’s out of town. Eating at bar and drinking Stiegel to get it going and get ready for Soelden. Daughter wore her Ski Team sweatshirt (by accident). Pretty sure she couldn’t care less.

Yeah... warm, rain/snow mix and fog, and should continue like this through the day, so not really much chances to do anything.Race canceled due to weather, per Shiffrin’s Insta.
I see Alice Robinson has switched skis to Salomon. Is that significant?
