The first races were in Zlatibor where the organisers had to adapt and change hill in order to run a race at all.   Then the GS races in Mokra Gora were changed to Slalom because the lack of snow meant that they just couldn't run a GS!  I was so disappointed because I have been concentrating on GS; getting to grips with the new ski length etc and I was confident of a very good result in Mokra Gora.

I was also annoyed that, rather than simply setting a challenging course, the course setters at both Zlatibor and Mokra Gora seemed hell-bent on ensuring that as few racers as possible finished - it cannot be right when only 13 finish out of 29 starters!  It just makes for a wasted, unproductive day for those competing.  The only positive thing I can report was that Florence and I were drawn with bibs 1 & 2 for the first Slalom race in Mokra Gora - I'd like to know what the odds are on that happening!  Interestingly, the organisers were pleased to report a  higher entry than in previous years - it will be interesting to see how many turn up next year; I certainly won't bother!
