| A bit of a lie in this morning as I was able to sleep all the way through until 7am! Actually, this is something of a luxury these days! After a couple of slalom gate training runs I headed over to the slalom race hill for a few free ski runs to prepare for tomorrow. In order to maintain energy and strength for what will, undoubtedly, be a challenging slalom course tomorrow my training was kept short today and, after finishing free skiing, I attempted to find a spot from which to cheer on my team mate, Conor. After some difficulty finding space in the stands, I finally got settled to watch the last 50 racers. Conor did a great run and placed 54th after the first run, meaning he qualified for the second! He finished overall in a deserved 52nd position and so congratulations go to him!!  Ted Ligety lived up to his GS reputation and comfortably took home the gold with Marcel Hirscher in silver-medal position. After a very enjoyable and exciting day of racing I headed back to the hotel to prepare my skis for tomorrow and for some light recovery work. I don't yet know what bib number I will be as the captain's meeting is still taking place but fingers crossed tomorrow will be a good day! |
