12/01 Ladies's Downhill - St.Anton

Last time there's been a race here was six years ago, very few racer are still in the "circus".
From interviews it seems that this slope is really hard, very technical.

Today's time trial was cancelled so there's been only one, where Lara Gut won, but missining some gates.
Time trial aren't really a good proof as racer don't go down 100%, someone skips gates, somene tries only some section.
Anyway Lara Gut seems very pumped, and she's better on technical slopes than on flat ones.
So I'll try her to podium.
Gut to podium 2 units @2.50

h2h Kaufmann-Abderhalden - Rolland - pick Kaufmann-Abderhalden 2 units @2.93
Although the swiss with the long name isn't really impressing, this is a huge odd.
Rolland is doing quite bad and she's one of those atlethes who prefer flat slope, while she's very bad on track with more turns.

h2h Merighetti - Gisin - pick Gisin 2 units @2.55
Merighetti is similar to Rolland, she find difficulties with turns, above all rightward for an injury.
Gisin is a preatty technical racer.

h2h Cook - Weirather - pick Cook 1 unit @2.56
Little stake against Weirather, who had an injury recently and with less training in the legs might suffer this hard slope.
Cook has had a great season so far with two 2nd places in Lake Louise, but the two slopes are very different

Ladies Super-G - St.Moritz

H2H Fanchini - Cook - pick Fanchini 3 units @1.54 Lost -3
Fanchini made a good run yesterday, finishing in the top 15 in the Super-G run of the Super-Combined event.
Cook made not so good in the same event.
Here I also pick given the starting position of the two: Fanchini will be #27 while Cook #49, twenty number is a great difference and the condition of the slope will change in worse: there will create a channel, with a littel step that will made harder the way down and a loss of time if you can't follow that channel.

H2H Rolland - Smith - pick: Smith 2 units @2.11 Win +2.22
Pick already made in last Super-G, a week ago in Lake Louise, Canada.
Style motivation: Smith is a better in covering turns, while Rolland needs straight section where she can gain speed.

-0.78
Fanchini out, too faulty could be said; she can't find continuity in her results.

Right impression about Rolland: turns aren't good for her and she finish well behind.
