Ladies Slalom - Ofterschwang

Hard to understand how weather and snow conditions will affect the race, let's hope it'll be regular enough

h2h Gagnon - N.Loeseth - pick Gagnon 3 units @1.83 Won +2.49
Strange to see these two tied for the bookies, but it is fair to say Loeseth is in front of Gagnon in the slalom standing.
Anyway Gagnon overall is much better than Loeseth, the problem with the canadian is that she's good only in single sections or runs, and then she waste all the good she's done with some orrible mistake.
Like yesterday when she was fifth after the first run of the GS, then wasted it all almost falling down, finished 30th.

h2h Pietilae-Holmner - Mielzyinski -pick Mielzyinski 2 units @2.50 Lost -2
Pietilae-Holmner's got much luck drawing no.1 she'll have the course in perfect conditions.
She looked in big troubles yesterday, though, maybe for the snow.
Mielzyinski is a very clean racer, and hardly doesn't finish a stage, she also enjoy humid conditions, third place this year in Zagreb, and her only career win was right here in Ofterscwang last year.

I also pick: Mielzyinski top 3 1 unit @11 Lost -1

-0.51

Bad performance by Mielzynski, she also straddled in the second run and went out, hard for her to beat yesterday's Pietilae-Holmner to be honest, the swedish seems to have better feeling with the slalom than with the Giant-slalom.
Very nice from Gagnon 4th place, one of her best career result... if she hadn't messed up the second run of the Giant-Slalom of saturday it would have been her best weekend ever.

Again Maze shows her best, her mind-clutchness. She wins and also jump on the lead of the slalom standing 595 points against Shiffrin's 588.
The baby american felt the pressure nad looked very rigid in the second run, 20th time of the run and she's down to the 3rd place.

Also to mention:
Wendy Holdener, of the raising Swiss SL team, she's been on a steady growth this year from borderline top 30 she's into the second group of the starting list and now is 7th in discipline's standing.
Anna Goodman, veteran candian slalomist, but at her first World Cup race in one year, best time of the second run and 15th place.
