So who's going to win? It's a big field with lots of top names. Maybe in the tradition of the Olympics it will be an outsider?
Whats Drakes chances? - to finish above his start number?

Dwarf Vader, you're doing a cracking job here of providing the details, better than the Vancouver Insider who has been silent for the last couple of days (perhaps the sponsorship money ran out?! )
I seem to recall that GS is Ed Drake's favoured even so fingers crossed he gets a decent result, I might just crack a beer and settle down to watch it if it's on't telly

I think Dwarf Vader, should offer his services for 2014. Mind you I might...dont know much about competitive skiing but I think I can do a better job than VI

Believe Cuche is favorite. I'd like Walchhofer to win as he will probably retire soon and it'd be good to go out on a high although if an Austrian gets the Gold it's more likely to be Scheiber. Bode, Svindal, Raich and Janko are all contenders for a medal. The two Canadians - Guay and Osbourne might perform well in front of a home crowd.

It's got the potential to be another cracking race. I'm with you DB, I'd like to see Walchofer to do well, and he's certainly got a good chance after good showings at Val d and Kitz, two other tough courses.

DB, Walchhofer to win would be good and he stands a chance.
nbt, Shimmy Alcott, Thank you, I've only been able to do it as I've gained a bit of spare time atm.
I like the Idea of providing 2014 piste side coverage, can you start to put the pressure on Admin so sH's can fund my trip to sochi

Excellent point, he is clearly a man of good character.
I shall grant him a slightly different, honourary, legend status.

Another vote here!
I think Ed has a good top-30 chance today (dare I say maybe even a top-25?). I think Super-G is more a favoured event than the downhill and he finished above his bib number in that.
For the medals, we really hope Bode gets it; failing that, Cuche. As for Raich....dunno, there's just something about him I can't take to.

Svindal or Ligety, based on the men or teams in form.

With a really good run Ed should get a top 25. Super G is definately his best event (not GS nbt!) He is world ranked No 46 in Super G and No 33 for the race. So with a couple of DNF's and others making mistakes who knows?
My money on Cuche, with Kostelic as an outside bet. I would love to see Patrik Jaerbyn get a medal. At 40-years-old he is showing all us GOM's how to do it!

I have to cook for guests tonight Will catch it all on the tv thanks to the magical BBC News red button on Sky... BUT I am missing out on the party in the Firestation in Zauchensee....
Michi (as we locals like to call him) used to be a fireman so they have kitted out a big screen and a bar in the Engine garage!...
I just hope there isn't a fire as Zauchensee won't stand a chance of getting anyone to bother putting it out!

Yeah, I was just thinking that swinging his shoulders round wasn't going to help him very much! Glad he's OK.

You do wonder that the course remains skiable with so many people "leaving everything on the hill."
