Zenhaeusern SL

Surprised no talk about him. Gates look like kinder gates given he's so tall.

What an amazing 2nd run.....absolutely ripping!
Not a pretty run, but man was it quick.

It's interesting to watch these tall guys in the slalom: Zenhaüsern is 6'7", Clément Noël is 6'3".

Strange to watch for sure. It ain't pretty.

From a technique standpoint, how hard is it for someone that tall to stay centered on a 165 SL ski? It looked a little like he was trying to stay compact with lots of retraction happening from edge to edge. Coaches to the white courtesy phone!

You would think the perfect SL skier would be, say 5'8" about 185 pounds...i.e., Marcel Hirscher. But Zenhaeusern breaks the mold. I love watching him ski, can't imagine the forces on his knees, but he clearly makes it work, as does Noel.

Popov vs Zenhaeusern head to head best of 5!
