The photos and frames are so doctored up unless you have the original HD feed in the studio, it's useless to analyze. Not much discussion in Europe. I can't believe there were no protests.
On another note I can't believe the number of top 10 women in the last slalom who's alignments were the Lindsey Vonn school of canting. Some of the Rossi boots were good, the Head boots are terribly aligned and I know it's the reps because mine are perfect and so are Diana's. It looks like they are doing too much cuff canting moving the cuff too far toward the leg, which is cuff out. It gives that knock knee, big knee angle, big toe knee drive look, but no rebound, just gives you a grinding a turn. The Fishers also were weak in alignment, except for two women who have amazingly straight legs. The Canadian girls must have a different rep than the Swedes, because their Rossi set up is totally different and really "A" framed. It's sad to watch this because there is damage being done. The Atomic set up with Shiff, Schild sisters is the most straight. Bernadette Schild almost looks too over canted, too strong in some turns.
Anyway, there is lots to still be learned by the boot racer reps.
