Good to see An individual winning against the mega teams of France and Austria . Fanara looked good , got a bit twisted up on one turn .
Out of curiosity what is the importance percentage of the different skills involved in World Cup racing , technique , tactics , strength and balls ? I guess it would vary from person to person .

I don't think you could be seriously deficient in any of the characteristics you mentioned and be competitive enough to reach WC level.

Given the snow conditions, the course set for the 2nd run was questionable. I don't know what the U.S. coach was thinking with that left-footer to right-footer turn combo over the knoll near the end of the course). Almost every racer looked incredibly ugly at that point in the course.

Felix really uncorked one for the 2nd run.
