As far as your team theory.....No. That's nonsense.
I’m just now watching my recording. Yeah, nonsense. Her teammates are so close, they’re trying to win the title!

Steve Porino tweeted that after today 50% of the top 30 women got injured inside 18 months. That seems like a lot to me. Have there been any changes in courses, skis, I-don’t-know-what-else that are helping cause this? Or is it an average number of injuries?Always strange at WCF's with such a small field, made even smaller this year by the recent injuries. Just 21 women and 22 guys
That's very interesting because I assumed overall physical condition had improved over the years, with progress in off-season and gym conditioning for instance. Gym conditioning and especially diet have considerably improved in tennis, another sport I follow. Then again this is not preventing injuries in that sport either, though unlike in skiing where injuries tend to be caused by a single accident, in tennis they are due to repetitive stress.There are changes in skiing... it goes more and more to limit. You need to have almost perfect run to win it, no backing off or anything, so you risk a lot more then you did let's say 10 years ago. This includes also skis, that are done different then they were before, with much more aggressive edges which don't tolerate mistakes. And then there's one thing that noone of coaches is ready to admit... physical condition is worse then it was or at least worse then it should be, especially for skiing this close to limit, or over limit. I wrote something more about this, but deleted it and will stop here on last part of this subject

Yep, keep it coming!Should we go further
41 gates, 36 turns, 2186m turn to turn measured length for both. Nowhere near the same? Ok.
You're debating this with someone who's there and works in the WC world.

I was never in Andorra, but years ago I was in nearby Spanish resort, and no matter how it might sound (as people don't really equal Spain with skiing), skiing conditions and terrain around there is actually pretty awesome. For Andorra I heard just good things, as tourism (and duty free zone) is only thing that runs there money. So I heard ski resorts are great and skiing is good, even though I heard winter this year is sort of same as we have/had here... shitty.Would you ski at Andorra? Haven't heard much about it.
