1st day we had 2 SG races in 1 day, in the 1st race I finished 2nd behind an in form young Austrian Johannes Unterbeger (it was his 3rd win on the trot!!) I was fairly happy with that considering it was my first SG in 18 months. In the 2nd race I finished 8th. I made a few silly mistake pretty much because I was pushing it to much, trying to cut the line and ski much more aggressively however on this SG track you need to ski with feeling and let the skis run.
In the combined I was the top ranked skier with only 1 racer who was close to my ranking. I won the race fairly convincingly after a long day on the hill the slalom was really bumpy on the top section, I skied ok on the top section then from the middle down I really found my rhythm and skied some great turns which is really encouraging for me as I am now skiing on the different model of skis which are much better in the courses which are set tight.
Day off tomorrow then a couple of days training GS before a couple of FIS GS races in Kranjska Gora where I have skied many of my best results in Europa cup Slalom so I hope it will be kind to me in GS.
See ya
