Double Win in Veysonnaz
Since our race in Austria was cancelled FIS decided to do a make up race in Veysonnaz. This was going to be a 6 person race, the first time this was going to be done in Europe. I prefer to have 6 people racing, I think it is better for the sport and creates more action for spectators. Also instead of the top 16 women advancing they take 24, this enable to sport to progress because it allows a bigger field to get into the heat races.
The first race I won time trials and had my lane choice every time. This course was crucial to lane choice because how the first straight away was run. Almost falling in the first round due to a mistake off the first jump, I found my feet and pulled it together winning the rest of the heats. My second race the I qualified third. This was to give me first choice of lanes only on the first round. I had to focus on my starts and pull everything together as a package to win this next race. Finals I had third gate form the right. I did not get the whole shot but was in the running. I made a pass right at the bottom to solidify my third victory for the season.
