This could be an interesting race
Vonn hasn't won a major medal in this event before, but if she's 1.5 seconds better than anyone after the Downhill, she has a decent chance
Riesch performance in the downhill is a big worry, especially as her training runs weren't that good. She's normally a much better slalom skiier than Vonn, so if she's within a second, she should be favourite (also she failed to finish in St Moritz)
Paerson, I assume isn't competing after yesterdays fall
Zettel won the worlds last year, but her downhill form has to be a worry. She needs to stay really competitive
Goergel, if she puts in a good downhill, will be in with a great shout as she can make up time on the slalom
A lot will depend for me on how tough the downhill course if for this. Also I'd be worried about Vonns ankle, having 2 races in a day, with a very tough on the ankle slalom
Goergel and Riesch for me I think

suter at 28's a massive price for me. made loads of errors yesterday and still came 5th. hopefully will improve her downhill enough and ski a decent slalom
|
|
By:
suter isn't going to make anytime on the slalom though, thats what would worry me about her
|
|
By:
im pretty sure its not a downhill, its a super g run

not according to the official website "Super Combined The combined event consists of one downhill run followed by one slalom run using a shorter course. The times are added together. The fastest total time determines the winner." |

By:
aaah, wasnt sure
|
|
By:
the "super" is a bit misleading in the event name

I'm laying Reisch. I'm backing Vonn against her on another site's hth market. Vonn will go for everything, and knowing what she's like with failing to complete slalom runs over this winter, it will probably cost me. But I've seen Reisch fail far too often for being cautious and for me she's way under the odds. I could be wrong....
|
|
By:
If Reisch puts together 2 runs she's capable of though, I don't think anyone will beat her - but agree on recent form she's a lay at that price.
Vonn has won the odd event on the world cup for combined, but she'll likely find at least one too good for her. The h2h for Vonn is a good bet |

Go Chemmy!

8th :(

Not the best from Chemmy
|

Paerson, I assume isn't competing after yesterdays fall
She is. |
|
By:
Furthemore she looks fine
|
|
By:
anja paerson for me
|
|
By:
Vonn leads by 0.8, I would have liked 1 second but that will do.
|
|
By:
Great time considering the mistake
|
|
By:
Ok, I'm in trouble now....
|
|
By:
Riesch will make that up in the slalom easily, Vonn to get a medal might be in trouble, I've laid that
|
|
By:
no doubt that tumble will have taken a toll on her, didn't look her best
Balls of steel to compete though, hats off to her |
|
By:
Shame about the 2nd half, seems a bit too much ask for Anja now
|
|
By:
zettel at 33's worth a shout?
|
|
By:
If the course organisers are interested, please take 20 seconds off the Slalom run as well just like the standard shortened Downhill to make it fair!
|
|
By:
she's 1.85 behind, she's a very good slalom skier and can make that up, but Vonn isn't the mug she was and Riesch likely to go faster. Not a terrible bet, but its 33s for a reason
Mancuso will drop well away (she will lose at least 2 seconds on most in slalom), and Vonn will need a very good run (no straddling!) to hang onto a medal imo. Some good medal chances behind the 2 americans So look at 4-9 positions as medal chances |
|
By:
jose, neither course is the full course in the combined
|
|
By:
I know, I was just going over the top as to how much I want taken off. With the different format from Torino, they're bound to take less off the one run Slalom run.
|
|
By:
In turin, they had 2 slalom runs though. They only have 1 now, so it won't be too short
|
|
By:
went to get some food and the 33's i wanted on zettel is now 20's with sj and 14's with pp. only 2 accounts i have money in
|
|
By:
sorry chief :(
She's probably the best slalom skier near the top, def medal chance I like Goergel, she's handy enough on the slalom. I fancy a couple of runners to DNF |
|
By:
ttt starting again.
|
|
By:
nearly getting to the contenders now
|

By:
got some butt cheeks these skiiers!

OT, but anyone know what time Shelly Rudman goes tonight in Skeleton?

I keep picking the skiers to back that crash!
|
|
By:
i hope she wins this after yesterday, at least let her medal
|
|
By:
that Anja Paerson has got some serious thighs on her, like tree trunks! get between those and there's no escape
|
|
By:
hang on anja
|
|
By:
thats an awesome ski by Mancuso, she's the star for me so far
|
|
By:
vonn can't beat that surely
