A Coach's Diary: Welcome to My Nightmare
by Peter Foley
Today didn't go so great. A combination of difficult snow conditions and
an insanely turny first course, took the Americans out of the picture in
the Women's GS. Close to half of the first seed encountered major
problems. I never imagined it could turn out this bad. Rosey and Lisa
went out on the same gate. Betsy rode well, but started a turn too soon
toward the bottom of the pitch and went through a panel. Sondra got
caught up and did a 360 in the easy upper part of the course, but fought
hard the rest of the way down. It was a huge mistake though, and it put
her in 16th place. She went all out on the second run from 16th starting
position and was able to finish in the top 5 for the second run, but 12th
overall.
Ouch,
Peter
