Second place went to Hansdotter who was 1:44 back. Marlies Schild was 1.66 back in third. The 15th finisher was 5.95 back. That's dominance!!

Just watched the replays of the women's SL and the men's GS. The finish of the men's GS was just crazy for the GS globe! I was thoroughly entertained - I'm so glad I didn't know the results before watching the race.

Hopefully everyone can see this pic - I just love their big smiles in this shot (and who wouldn't be smiling!):

It's also pretty clear that if Ted really wants to compete for the overall then he should change his focus to the Super G and the Downhill and bag the SL (unless Mikaela is willing to give him a few pointers :wink: ). His results in the speed events are significantly better than his SL.
