Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Tonight 1900 if all goes well

I see Chemmy is bib 2 an early start, is that good or bad?

Weather is giving it to be sunny and warm so the course may get cut up quickly.

I'd say an early start is good if it's going to be warm, Vonn will be half an hour later so could be a slushfest by then!

Do downhillers watch the runs of earlier skiers? Or are they in the zone worrying about their own run?

If the former, then perhaps Chemmy could benefit from being a bit further down the order, only a few of places though, and learn from what some of the others have experienced.

If not then I reckon 2nd spot is as good as any if it's likely to slush up.

hammerite, Teams tend to provide feedback to each other on the radio and coaches relay it to the athletes. Very few of them would see the runs of those gone before.

But the feedback on the radio can make a diffrence.

Think Chemmy got a good draw here if she has done her homework in training and the conditions are good in the early part of the race it might suit here.

In the mens race it looked like the top got slower and the bottom got quicker as the race whent on and it did impact the results.

Fattes13, I thought it was the other way round, top getting quicker and bottom slower. A lot of guys were within touch of Defago at the first and second split but dropped away significantly at the end.

Sideshow_Bob, with you on that, I thought it was slowing at the bottom of the men's DH towards the end.

I think Chemmy's draw is pretty good. Certainly better than getting a number around the 30 mark (especially as it's bright sunshine today, so may well warm up). 7 would have been even better of course. snowHead

Nice enough run from Chemmy, but nice doesn't win you medals.

With Chemmy out of the medals, I am content to be delighted with Mancuso's run instead. Madeye-Smiley

Not a great place to have such a big bump to launch a sliding racer!

If they do not do that and another skier bounces there there would be words.

I think this course is very dangerous and I have concerns for some of the later less experienced runners.

Of course. Just a shame they didn't spot it in the first place. Hardly unusual to have racers take a fall on the final jump into a finish line and then slide to the bottom of the course.

Defiantly a demanding course, and the crowd pleaser jump at the end is a challenge when they are knackered, but it is the Olympics!
