Who is going to be commentating on bbc feed? Had a quick listen but no one was speaking just ambient noise. At least the guys on Eurosport are filling in and Eurosport is running at over 10 seconds ahead of the bbc “live” stream.

They're lowering the start gate now, and delaying for about an hour. Urgh.

start lowered to Duca d'Aosta, which should favour the Super G skier specialists over the Dowhill skier specialists.

They are going to lower the start to reserve start position to get below the fog.
Start time is now 2pm (CET), 1pm UK. Seems ambitious but hopefully doable.

I hope they manage to run the Womens Super G.
The problem is the fog level will now be descending becasue the ambient temperature is falling because it's now past midday.

12 mins to decide and then it will be too late to start the race.

Awesome. Thanks.
Lara GB seems absolutely unstoppable this season. Didn’t expect her to be quicker than Shiffrin in GS though!

Shiffrin made a big mistake on the near the finish, could of been ahead without that...

Looks like its done and dusted. L GB looked really smooth all the way down. Apparently Shiffrin has not skied a GS all season and has only had 4 days training.
I see there’s a Kenyan skier st 37?

Oops, I meant SG.
Has the bib order changed since the postponed race on Tuesday? Alice Robinson (one for the future I reckon) was supposed to be in 22, but don’t think has raced yet.

@Timmycb5, Alice Robinson has decided not to race today.
@ster, you get all sorts of unusual nationalities at the World Champs.

That’s a shame. Wonder why. There’s not a giant slalom for a while yet.

The track cut up fairly quickly. Not easy after the first dozen skiers.

Looks like the Kenyan skier got a DSQ - not sure what that was about - anyone picked up on this from the commentators?
Also it appears the the BBC are covering most if not all of Cortina:

Yes DSQ on the official results. She did come close to missing a gate near the bottom but seemed ok. And I didnt hear the commentators on Eurosport at the time pick up on anything untoward. So don’t know what thats for.
