Looking pretty good so far - but they're not racing on the silly terrain that the men are.
Missed the first fifteen or so, but seeing some interesting racing.
Who thought it would be a good idea to ask Mancuso how the course was skiing...

Should suit Chemmy though, it's still quite a steep, tight course, and she seems to like the more technical courses. Fingers crossed, just a few minutes to go.

Not great, but certainly showed something given that only about three or four of the racers following her have even completed the course.

beequin, who? I was watching in my living room (on Eurosport).
Good run from Vonn to knock a home nation skier off top spot. First American SG win and a World Champs too.

Too high a start number for training run 2 today, it seems.

Good call, anything that means we can claim a World Championship silver medalist. 
I have already emailed British Eurosport to voice my displeasure at the coverage of yesterday's Super G. Whilst I'm very disappointed that they didn't keep the coverage going to show the Brits, I can at least acknowledge that programming probably required it; however, there is no excuse for not even talking about the British hopefuls that were going to be racing within a couple of minutes of the programme ending...

The weather here this morning is clear with some high level clouds. A little snow has fallen overnight but not as much as forecast by lie.com
Hopefully it will not cloud in before todays Mens Downhill.
ps. Any chance of just one thread for the World Champs

Team event has been cancelled. Too much snow and too much wind. The decision has also been made not to reschedule it.
Just incase anyone else was getting angry about WTA Tennis being on Eurosport instead of skiing... Or wonders why the skiing hasn't recorded.

maggi, I think the decision was made because there are events on every day until Sunday (2xGS and 2xSL), and as the team event included both men and women, some racers might have had to race twice in two days if they tried to fit it in. I suppose it's also a bit of a sideline compared to the main competitions.

I just wanted to watch some skiing. It's very annoying that they replace it with tennis instead of repeating a recent skiing event. Especially as you can't i player it  .

Lots of preparation work going on in La Daille today.
Hope they don't change the race pistes as there are no TV cameras in La Daille at the moment.

It's really interesting to watch the first training run - well, I thought so anyway. Seeing many of the guys 'just' skiing the line
