Shame to see a career possibly end like that with Vonn retiring after this World Championships.

Glad she got back up on her feet and made it to the bottom. Also I can't believe how YOUNG Michaela Shiffrin is, feels like she's been around for years!

It does annoy me how so many riders just use the downhill as a practise for the official downhill without any intention of doing the slalom though, it takes away from the race a bit.

Glad Sweden FINALLY got a medal with Anna Swenn Larsson in the slalom as well, was looking pretty miserable for the host nation up until then!
