Vonn leads after the combined downhill – little interest from the athletes

But it won't be easy for Vonn. Even though she often used slalom skis, the favorites are different. Above all, her teammate Mikaela Shiffrin, who lost almost two seconds to Vonn in the descent. A deficit that the 22-year-old can make up for in the slalom.

Norwegian Ragnhild Mowinckel is in second place after the descent. She has already won medals twice in PyeongChang and is now aiming for her third Olympic medal. The Swiss Michelle Gisin (she is 77 hundredths behind Vonn) and Wendy Holdener are also within medal range. However, the slalom specialist is already 2,74 seconds behind leader Vonn.

The bond quickly breaks down - Goggia voluntarily gives up Johanna Schnarf had no luck. The woman from Olanger, who had to give way to Nicol Delago on the descent, dropped out. The reason: After a bump, Schnarf got hit and their bond fell apart. Schnarf fell but was uninjured.

When you look at the field of participants, it becomes clear that the combination is not particularly popular among athletes. Only 32 runners were at the start. However, there were many runners among them who never appear in the World Cup at all. After Schnarf (she had star number 22), Elvedina Muzaferija from Bosnia and Herzegovina was the first “exotic” participant in the field. There were also runners from Australia, Chile and Belgium at the start.

However, Sofia Goggia was not there. The Olympic downhill champion canceled her start at the last moment. In addition to Goggia, three other runners did not start. Because some runners dropped out, there won't even be 30 starters in the slalom. – a disgrace for an Olympic race.
