Sorry, no picks for the Downhill, I just wanted to watch and enjoy it, mind free...
Ladies first:
h2h Gagnon - Zahrobska - pick Gagnon 1 unit @1.80 Won +0.8
Couldn't resist, I really like Gagnon, she's aggressive and deserve top placement, also true that she does too many mistakes.
Zahrobska isn't on high levels, due a surgery in the summer.
Slope is easy and Gagnon shouldn't have many troubles.
Gagnon starting with #9 and Zahrobska 19.
h2h Pietilae-Holmner - Mielzynski - pick Mielzynski 2 units @2.25 Void 0
Mielzynski is having a great season, while Pietilae-Holmner struggles to find her best form.
Also some numbers of difference in the starting list that should advantage Mielzynski: 8 & 15.
Men:
h2h Pinturault - Myhrer - pick Myhrer 2 units @1.90 Won +1.8
Myhrer isn't in a good period, coming from two DNF in a row, he also hasn't got great placements on this slope, 6th as his best not too good for a top like him.
On the other hand Pinturault struggles to put together two runs, because he's aggressive and falls easily in mistake.
This time though he'll ski differently because there's also the Combined Cup for him, changing style is never easy.
h2h Pranger - Grange - pick Grange 2 units @2.00 Lost -2
Pranger in bad shape so far.
Grange in raising form, best time in the second run of Wengen and a minor FIS Slalom won in mid-week.
+0.6
Great shame for Grange who was doing very well, had only +0.02s gap from Gross, leader of the first run; the french is in big shape.
I think that I'm overrating Gagnon, maybe her real level is from 10th to 20th, lucky that Zahrobska has been very poor today.

Men' Slalom - Wengen
h2h Kristoffersen - Grange - pick Grange 2 units @2.39 Void 0
Picking the experienced french who's now some races in his legs after recovering from an injury.
He also had some good results in the past on this slope, while the young norvegian has never raced here.
h2h Yuasa - Larsson - pick Larsson 3 units @2.10 Won +3.3
This slalom slope is very various and technical with some hard part.
Yuasa is very aggressive but most of the times he's also faulty, and it's not a surprise that he's finished only one slalom in past seven years here.
Larsson is good enough to make top 20 and easily beat the japanese.
+3.3
Kristtofersen dind't start.
Yuasa as expected didn't finish, not qualifying for the second run, Larsson, 9th, good enuogh to beat him as well.
