What a difference! While Jasmine Flury (30) was still at 180 on Wednesday, this time she was in a good mood talking to her teammates after training. “Were you looking at me?” she asks, smiling as she talks. Then she becomes serious: “Yesterday I had to quickly let out what was inside me. But today the snow was more even – still soft, but better.”

The background: The day before, Flury had sharply criticized the surface of the Mont Lachaux piste in Crans-Montana USA. “The lowest part of the course is not World Cup worthy. “You can’t get a grip, you’re slipping – it doesn’t feel good,” she said.

The Graubünden woman was far from alone in her criticism: other drivers also took advantage of the verbal two-hander. They too are now in a more conciliatory mood. “The snow is better, you have more resistance. It’s almost a miracle that they managed to do this: it’s way too hot and there’s almost no snow. “It’s all very positive,” says Michelle Gisin (30).

Gut-Behrami gets into position

When asked whether the entire track was World Cup worthy this time, Flury answered evasively: “It is incredibly difficult. The sun is shining here at seven in the morning, I don’t blame the OC, they give it their all.”

Lara Gut-Behrami (32) doesn’t give everything, but she does give a lot. With an easy ride she finished second behind Ester Ledecka (28). However, Ledecka, the 2018 Olympic snowboard and ski champion, made a goal error.

What does that mean? Simple: Gut-Behrami, who as always does not give interviews after training, is more than ever the top favorite for the Valais speed trio.
