Jordan Stolz does it again. Wins 500 in a track-record 33.90. That’s three races, three wins, three track records.
Also, Mia Manganello gets silver in mass start. Believe that qualifies her for Milano Cortina after she won in Salt Lake City

This is big: The finish moves Shiffrin back into the top 15 for the start list. Means she’ll be starting with rest of the best, rather than further down in order.
Wound up sixth.

Well hot damn. Ryan Cochran-Siegle still in 2nd after first 25 skiers in DH at Birds of Prey. Only Odermatt (who else) faster.
Aleksander Kilde, in his first DH since crash, currently 11th.

The problem is it’s a bit hard for teenagers to have institutional trust in journalism right now when all you see is people like Olivia Nuzzi being elevated
This kind of free-floating cynicism & lack of trust is deeply, deeply corrosive.
