Looks like the course deteriorated pretty badly.

Or did the quality of the skiers deteriorate? 😂. Was Chris in this race?

hahaaa.... no excuses.... thanks for asking about Chris. Yes, the course deteriorated badly. The slope, Levi Black, home of the WC, was not water injected. And it was not wet enough to use chemicals. Cannot be seen in this video footage, but the whole flat top part was like a x-country skiing track. Two deep tracks in the snow. So the less skilled and fit guys at the end of the lineup were in deep trouble. Chris included. Bib 81. Watch and weep..... I told Chris to cross the finishing line at all costs as there would be so many DNF. Turned out he finished 20th :) The Swedes taking part said they will never be back. It was that bad. Did you guys watch the Top 13 GS Crashes? The GS on Sunday was equally bad. Today as well. Chris was 32nd. He was 31st after the first run and missed the reversed 30 by one place. Rats. Welcome to the magical world of SkiRacing :) Cheers, T
