Franzoni has tore up the powder there. The young buck has come out and laid how an Italian marker
The Italians have the home support behind them and know every blade of ice on these slopes.
The man from Paris has given Italy two podium spots. But it looks like Von Allmen is too good for all men.
Elegant knee clasp from Von Allmen over the jump there, he made speed in the air.
Von Allmen has this in the bag.
Like a football picking up speed off the greasy grass.
My favourite bit of Ski Sunday would be when they’d be covering the downhill at Wengen or Kitzbuhel or Val d’Isere or somewhere and they’d go through the top 15 in the rankings and David Vine would tell us Franz Heinzer or whoever had the race in the bag as after the 15th fella they were all espoirs out for a Saturday morning stroll and then some no mark nobody had ever heard of would come along at number 39 and win.

One of my favourites was Pirmin Zurbriggen at the death winning the gold in Calgary in 1988. The look of thunder on the face of Peter Muller as it was snatched away from him.
I used to look out for the results of the Bell brothers Graham and Martin in the skiing in the same way I’d look out for the results of Jeremy Bates at Wimbledon.
Women’s 10km and 10km skiathlon being dominated by Team Sweden.
Looks tough as fuck - brutal.
Heart rate at 180 to 190 on the climbs according to BBC.
Karlsson the winner had a tough time. Last year a long term stalker was convicted.
Lindsey Vonn crashes a few seconds into her downhill run.
Looks very bad.
That didnt look good and already with an ruptured ACL. In a lot of pain, can hear the screams. Have they no blue screens to go up.
That was one of the most traumatic things I’ve seen in sport in a long time. Had a feeling it was going to end in disaster like that.
Showing the crash now. Awful looking. BBC reporter crying.
Horrific looking spill. It was completely mad to even try and compete.

Deciding to air lift instead of putting her into helicopter can’t be good
Fair play to these skiers racing down after that crash
The drone tracking the downhill skiers is pretty cool.

Oh no, I didn’t see that but saw them talking about her earlier this morning. Hopefully she is OK.
