Totally agree with John, the women's field is really week. If Lindsey can almost win with a huge error, Anna, 2nd by .001 she isn't skiing close to what she could do before her injury, and a women coming out of 26th place, who is relatively new to the world cup can win, it sure is a weak field. The same goes for slalom and GS. The Italians are fierce competitors and they go for it, but technically they are all over the place, no consistency due to really poor fundamentals, that's just poor coaching and development, but they have huge talent.
BTW. I don't think Anna is back yet she skis well enough in a weak field on good snow on a less risky slope, but she's not in the mix the way she dominated before.
