Am I the only one who much prefers watching women's slalom rather than men's? The women's seem to be much more technically accurate and smoother carving. The men's seem to have a lot of jump turns and aggression rather than technique.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The results are little bit more predictable though compared with the men’s slalom……

Indeed - but I’d counter that by saying who won the silver and bronze in the men’s slalom race today? @holidayloverxx,

And even though he won the gold medal, Kristoffersen needed a second run charge from 16th place after the first run to win it, which is quite unusual and certainly not something I’d have predicted beforehand.
I thought it was a great world championship overall. The highlight for me was Marco Odermatt’s gold medal run in the men’s downhill.

Such a shame there isn't more of it. 45 minutes is all we get  I guess they couldn't put an extended version on iPlayer or BBC3 (might not fit the channel).
and a shame it's ended already, 5 episodes or something? I know there's a lot of competition for airtime but surely it pulls in the viewers.

So entirely unpredictable...Henrik holding in for gold was amazing, as was silver and bronze. A great race...although when I posted I meant to say yesterdays (saturdays) ladies world champ...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Thought Shiffrin came over well in her short interview with Chemmy. She's certainly not in Vonns mould and IMO better for it. Some echoes of what Aimee Fuller was talking about.

You know it makes sense.

@Whitegoldsbrother, granted, but there is quite a bit of crossover given that Ski Sunday has heavily featured alpine slalom racing in recent weeks one way or another.
I probably over stepped the ‘level of debate’ in relation to the Ski Sunday thread, but it’s difficult to know where do you draw the line sometimes especially after a couple of relatively broad comments on the content of the programme.

Why is it on iPlayer for such a short time? If you blink you miss it. Yet some other stuff is listed as 1 year plus and is full as dishwater

@bowsaw, probably due to the right saying there’s a limited time during which they can show coverage of the actual racing
