So the ladies giant slalom has decided who won the medals at the winter Olympics in Whistler and some fantastic very talented and committed skiing especially with the visibility getting worse as the race went on. I think it came down to the skier that wanted to race the hardest and not just the best technical skier, a classic example of this is Bode Miller in the mens skiing who notoriously always looks on the edge and ready to crash at any moment. He often skies with his weight on the back of his skies which must be frustrating as hell for the technical coaches, but with his weight back it can make him quicker but with less control over the skies. So my point is the skier that skies the hardest and took more risks, stood a good chance of winning.
A shame for Lindsey Vonn taking a tumble but it does prove she is human at least.
The gold going to Viktoria Rebensburg from Germany with an impressive performance, silver going to Tina Maze from Slovenia and bronze going to Elisabeth Goergl.
