1-1 and ball in the center. Predicted female
still being met on the slopes of Whistler, and the response to the overwhelming Maria Riesch Lindsey Vonn reached immediately. A distance of only 24 hours from a bad downhill that would see her at least on the podium, the Juno athlete from Garmisch innate ability to show off their versatility: second best fastest time in the heats despite a couple of erroracci the top of the track, good weather in slalom without excessive risk, and the first Olympic gold medal in an event that surely will be devoted to the end.
We tried but the encore Lindsey Vonn, today, it was impossible or almost: too gained the advantage in a tight downhill to take back to hit the German in goal closer, but the American was there last term, only 18 cents, a step away from a second place that could hardly get out of hand. But the law of the slalom is, as usual, unmerciful: got on a few doors from the finish and silver farewell, the appointment with the second medal is so super-G postponed until Saturday.
Chi, however, seems not to want to stay longer is an amazing Julia Mancuso, a real loose cannon and surprise the whole show. Silver in downhill and silver in super combined, all in just two days. Natural - after what we saw Wednesday - the third time down, but the surprising part-ninth best in slalom, discipline in which the elf of Squaw Valley (but of Italian origins) do not test themselves for nearly two years.
Closes the podium Sweden Anja Paerson for a company, rather than sports, we could define epic. In its participation in doubt until the last flight of the day after the terrible previous Anja yet, though painful, is the gate without fear of any sort: down pretty well, staordinaria in slalom, and bronze to be used as the final Olympic spot. Medal in addition to the two won in Salt Lake in 2002 and won three in Turin 2006: a booty just scary for the most successful champion of the millennium.
feet of the podium for Kathrin Zettel (4 °) and Tina Maze (5 °), but performance auspicious in view of the second week that Olympic should consecrate the more technical disciplines. Speech identical Sarka Zahrobska (7 ° with fastest time in the heats) and Michaela Kirchgasser (9 °), while the second company fails to consecutive Lizzie Goergl, author of a erroraccio a few posts from the finish.
In the only two blue chiaroscuro present: Johanna Schnarf well (8th) is still firmly in the top 10 of discipline, bad Daniela Merighetti the second pick in a row after the flight the previous day.
Girls on track within 48 hours for a super-g which promises to be roaring again: Vonn and chasing a second gold Riesch, Anja Paerson ready to write one of the most beautiful and amazing about this sport. Enjoy.
