I've noticed she -- along with a lot of the swedes, actually -- uses what strikes me as a completely different approach to GS turns in terms of hand movement -- always a seemingly exaggerated back hand-movement of the old inside hand / new outside hand. This sets up an extremely strong CA, and seems to get the inside shoulder forward and into the turn.

What are your thoughts on this? Effective?

If you haven't already noticed, you can see it quite clearly in this video (from 38 seconds onwards):

Harald has explained this before...look at the hips not the hands. IMO she'd be even faster if the hands stayed more forward.

We need a "like post" feature. Feet and hips.

BTW, are you the Swede who gave my GS skiing a "thumbs down" on YouTube?
