:01:19. > :02:00.we are into the final weekend of these 22nd Winter Olympics, the

:02:01. > :02:05.games which began against an uncertain backdrop but one which has

:02:06. > :02:12.enthralled as dazzled us. It's broken our hearts a little bit too.

:02:13. > :02:19.Winter sport has once again demonstrated its enduring appeal.

:02:20. > :02:22.So, for the penultimate time, every good afternoon and while the drains

:02:23. > :02:27.are going to a close, action continues apace. -- while the Games

:02:28. > :02:35.are drawing to a close. 62 nations are represented in the

:02:36. > :02:52.slalom. Orange is the new gold in speed

:02:53. > :02:55.skating. We pay our final visit to the Adler Arena. Can anyone stop the

:02:56. > :03:09.Dutch? This skier aims to make his mark in

:03:10. > :03:10.the BIOS on. If Norway takes gold, he will have a record ninth Olympic

:03:11. > :03:22.title. In terms of timings, the men's

:03:23. > :04:08.slalom will be first. Then the speed skating.

:04:09. > :04:17.I'm delighted that beans -- joined by Emma Carrigan. You having fun?

:04:18. > :04:20.Loving it. We are going to have a little review of the Alpine

:04:21. > :04:27.programme so far. Starting with the men's downhill. This is where Emma

:04:28. > :04:31.will get very smug! Nobody thought that my of Austria would win but you

:04:32. > :04:37.picked him beforehand. I just had a hunch. He's been getting through the

:04:38. > :04:44.winter more strongly. I thought I was going to go for him. Bode Miller

:04:45. > :04:47.had looked so good in all the trial runs. Everyone was talking about

:04:48. > :04:53.him. He got himself into a really good place after injury problems. It

:04:54. > :04:57.does didn't work for him. That was so hard. He won three out of the

:04:58. > :05:01.five runs. In training, he was perfect. His line was great, his

:05:02. > :05:06.position was great. When it came to the day, he didn't get the line

:05:07. > :05:08.right in the places he needs to. The other guy who disappointed across

:05:09. > :05:15.the games and has gone home early with problems. We talked about hay

:05:16. > :05:20.fever. It is Swindell, the Norwegian. He just missed out on

:05:21. > :05:25.bronze. He has been the man of the season and the big one to watch. He

:05:26. > :05:29.has pollen problems, allergies, and in the Olympic Village, there was a

:05:30. > :05:33.lot of dust around from all the building. He decided to go home

:05:34. > :05:38.early. Surprise in the men's downhill. Olympic history in the

:05:39. > :05:41.women's downhill. A dead heat. That was fantastic. I loved the shots of

:05:42. > :05:48.the girls, had standing, holding hands. I think it is the first time

:05:49. > :05:53.it has ever happened, that a gold has been taken by duathletes. It's

:05:54. > :05:57.incredible. She went on to win another gold in the giant slalom.

:05:58. > :06:01.She hasn't had the greatest form this season but she got it right

:06:02. > :06:04.here. She got it right here, that's for sure. That is the thing with

:06:05. > :06:08.racing, as soon as you start to get confident, but is it, you are off.

:06:09. > :06:12.She made a change with her coach offered to the season which changed

:06:13. > :06:19.things for her. Yes, she's had a fantastic Games. The men's Super-G

:06:20. > :06:23.now. What is it about this event and the Norwegians? They've won the last

:06:24. > :06:29.four. They seem to do very, very well. Part of it... They've

:06:30. > :06:32.obviously got great psychologists. You don't get the training runs like

:06:33. > :06:36.in downhill so you have to know exactly where you are going at each

:06:37. > :06:44.point on the Hill. They've also got great training hills because they

:06:45. > :06:54.had... Two great courses for Super-G. They nailed it here.

:06:55. > :07:02.Another dead heat for the bronze medal and finally Bode Miller got

:07:03. > :07:05.his bronze, didn't he? He got his bronze. He had tears at the finish.

:07:06. > :07:11.The tears were there for a few different reasons. He's had a pretty

:07:12. > :07:13.tough last year and a half. He has come back from his injury. He was

:07:14. > :07:18.maybe looking to have a better season than he has. For him to have

:07:19. > :07:22.a bronze in these Olympics is just brilliant. Now, it's the end of an

:07:23. > :07:27.era for him. He's going to move on for -- to other things. He's had

:07:28. > :07:31.such a great career and he will be sorely missed. He is a real

:07:32. > :07:38.character. He has six Olympic medals in total. Absolutely. He does break

:07:39. > :07:42.the rules. Racers can often follow the rules all the time and Bode

:07:43. > :07:47.Miller is happy to go his way. I think that is really refreshing to

:07:48. > :07:51.see. Onto the giant slalom and correct me if I'm wrong but I think

:07:52. > :07:58.the first run of Liggett he might have been the ski of the games. We

:07:59. > :08:02.said he was going to be the one to watch and the way he skis is just

:08:03. > :08:06.phenomenal. He goes for such big angles. The other guys are going for

:08:07. > :08:10.60 or city five degrees. He goes another 10 degrees. His skis are so

:08:11. > :08:17.far right that he can really tighten up that radius, the arc. That is

:08:18. > :08:21.what makes him just phenomenal. It is the length of the skills, isn't

:08:22. > :08:27.it? He was against it but he is the one who has changed his technique

:08:28. > :08:32.the best. That's the amazing thing. They have changed this shape of the

:08:33. > :08:37.skis. It used to be 27 metres. He said at the beginning you guys are

:08:38. > :08:41.going to destroy giant slalom for us because we will not be to carve the

:08:42. > :08:46.terms. He has just shown that he can and he blows it out of the water.

:08:47. > :08:54.It's fabulous to watch. Giant slalom is a difficult discipline to get

:08:55. > :09:00.right. He nails it. It has been a great Alpine programme. One skier

:09:01. > :09:06.got a lot of headlines. The jury seems to be out on whether Vanessa

:09:07. > :09:11.Mae should have come here or not. I'm sitting on the fence. If I had

:09:12. > :09:16.been in her position... What she does is incredible and she is so

:09:17. > :09:21.good at it. But she had this goal of coming to the Olympics and racing in

:09:22. > :09:24.the Olympics. In some ways, I think, good on her. But there are a lot of

:09:25. > :09:28.other races around that might look at it and think, stay with what you

:09:29. > :09:34.are so good at. She has been given this chance and has taken it. She

:09:35. > :09:46.enjoyed it, for sure. Let us know what you think on twitter. --

:09:47. > :09:47.Twitter. Let's look back to yesterday and a new American

:09:48. > :09:55.superstar. Shifrin is next to go and all the

:09:56. > :09:58.eyes of the American ski racing fans are on the teenager from Vail in

:09:59. > :10:19.Colorado. The coaches and parents said she

:10:20. > :10:22.could do 15 training runs a day. It has produced the finest racing we've

:10:23. > :10:26.seen for a long time. She is making it look easy. She absolutely is and

:10:27. > :10:29.it is not just the Americans that will be watching her. I reckon

:10:30. > :10:32.everybody wants to see what this young woman can do. She skis like

:10:33. > :10:36.she has no pressure on her shoulders. It's an outstanding run

:10:37. > :10:40.so far. No mistakes. The skis are driving through each turn. The upper

:10:41. > :10:46.body is relaxed and in front of her. She comes into this final steep

:10:47. > :10:50.section. Shifrin of the United States of America has really put one

:10:51. > :10:57.down here. The world champion, the World Cup champion leads the Olympic

:10:58. > :11:05.slalom first run. That is how to do it. She moves into first. We often

:11:06. > :11:08.see her with a second run like that but it's not often we see her put

:11:09. > :11:13.the hammer down like she did there. What a great run. The hip was almost

:11:14. > :11:20.on the ground. She was so low that it means she can get such great

:11:21. > :11:28.angles. Listening to commentary there. You are a fan, aren't you?

:11:29. > :11:34.Absolutely. She is another one who is in a league of her own. I

:11:35. > :11:39.definitely thought she would win the slalom. If she finished, she was

:11:40. > :11:43.going to be miles ahead. She made a big mistake in a second run but it

:11:44. > :11:47.didn't put her. A lot of other races would be put off. It just spurred

:11:48. > :11:53.her on to greatness. At 18 years old, it's incredible, because she is

:11:54. > :11:58.so calm and relaxed so focus. In terms of the men, we are looking at

:11:59. > :12:08.them getting ready to go. Here show took a body blow. Can he bounce

:12:09. > :12:17.back? -- Hirscher. It is probably his greatest discipline. He is in a

:12:18. > :12:20.league of his own. A quick word on the British skier. He is a starting

:12:21. > :12:24.number 35 which is much better than he would normally start. I had a

:12:25. > :12:26.quick chat with him and what he wants to do is break into the top 30

:12:27. > :12:41.after the first run. Good afternoon. Wellcome to the

:12:42. > :12:46.final day of the Olympic Alpine programme. We have British interest

:12:47. > :12:52.as Jonathan and Emma were just discussing, with David Ryding

:12:53. > :12:57.starting at number 35. Only two British athletes on the Alpine

:12:58. > :13:01.programme, Chemmy Alcott finished her Olympic career with 19th

:13:02. > :13:05.position in the downhill. David Ryding, the only other British

:13:06. > :13:09.competitor in the Alpine programme. There has been some talk that one or

:13:10. > :13:18.two others might have been given a chance, Dougie Crawford and another

:13:19. > :13:25.skier were not selected. David Ryding has a point to prove this

:13:26. > :13:30.afternoon. He is amongst a massive field of 117 racers. And the top 30

:13:31. > :13:43.will go in reverse order. Thinking about the favourites, for

:13:44. > :14:02.me it is a three horse race. Kristofferson from Norway, just 19

:14:03. > :14:12.years old, came through and announced himself with a win in the

:14:13. > :14:17.ninth slalom. 30,000 screaming Austrians and Hirscher had the lead

:14:18. > :14:31.but Kristofferson came down and won that race. Like a lot of the Swedish

:14:32. > :14:38.racers, lives in Monaco. He will open the racing.

:14:39. > :14:53.The first course set by one of the German coaches and he is the first

:14:54. > :15:00.to tackle it. It is a little bit of guesswork here for Andre Myhrer. A

:15:01. > :15:07.lot of rhythm changes in the course today. It is pretty steep all the

:15:08. > :15:13.way down. There is one section where it goes slightly less steep, we call

:15:14. > :15:21.it the flat section, even though it is not that flat. Lots of vertical

:15:22. > :15:27.gates. The course is set has two set lots of verticals in order to get

:15:28. > :15:33.the number of gates required. He is the seventh best of the season, the

:15:34. > :15:43.first to ski today and he really attacked it. 47.15, he looks happy.

:15:44. > :15:50.Let us see how that stands up. It has been a very long time since the

:15:51. > :16:03.Swedish racers have won and medal in the Alpine programme. You need to go

:16:04. > :16:11.back to 1988. Another Swede will go next. He is a different stylist to

:16:12. > :16:17.his team-mate. He will get hands down through these turns and

:16:18. > :16:31.immediately, his right-hand hits the snow. He has had a decent start. He

:16:32. > :16:45.is a lot busier with his hand is, gets twisted out of position. Three

:16:46. > :16:51.points of balance almost. Hargin skiing nicely. The Swedes have yet

:16:52. > :16:58.to score a medal in the Alpine programme at the Winter Games.

:16:59. > :17:04.Hargin is just behind his team-mate. It is the first run of the Men's

:17:05. > :17:09.slalom. Swedish bands in great numbers. Lots of skiers from the

:17:10. > :17:25.Women's programme have come to watch this. He fights to get forward. You

:17:26. > :17:34.have got to pull forward. The veteran Austrian. He was twice a

:17:35. > :17:44.world champion. Huge gaps between the wins. He has never really got it

:17:45. > :17:50.right on the Olympic Stadium. This is his only discipline. Can he get

:17:51. > :18:01.it right? And nice and neat start from Matt. His younger brother was

:18:02. > :18:10.in their ski cross. Matt is up by 14 hundredths. A good start for Matt.

:18:11. > :18:17.LaRue, crouched over his skis, add different style from Andre Myhrer.

:18:18. > :18:28.-- Lowell. Matt flies onto the final steep section. He recovers well, has

:18:29. > :18:36.he done enough to lead the way? Yes. A fabulous first run from Matt. He

:18:37. > :18:42.is showing the way. He is one of only four skiers who has won World

:18:43. > :18:48.Cup slalom this season. He has updated his technique. When he first

:18:49. > :18:53.burst onto the scene, he had a wide stance and now he has narrowed that

:18:54. > :19:07.stance. The skis have changed, they have become a lot more stable. 109

:19:08. > :19:28.my role next. Let us see what he can produce. -- 109 Mac. -- Marcel

:19:29. > :19:38.Hirscher. Not such a good start from Marcel Hirscher. He twisted slightly

:19:39. > :19:44.as he goes on to the smaller section. He is a bit off the pace.

:19:45. > :19:50.He is likely to be the slowest of the starters so far if it stays like

:19:51. > :19:59.this that he finishes, he will have to come from behind a charge in the

:20:00. > :20:06.second run Andre Myhrer leads. Marcel Hirscher is fourth. That is

:20:07. > :20:11.an massive shock. This is the man who has revolutionised slalom

:20:12. > :20:19.skiing, the world champion. What on earth went wrong with Marcel

:20:20. > :20:35.Hirscher? No emotion showing from him, he will have to consider his

:20:36. > :20:50.next move. Andre Myhrer leads. Next to go, Henrik Kristoffersen. He is

:20:51. > :20:58.19 years old. I love the way he skis, he has taken Marcel Hirscher,

:20:59. > :21:01.his technique and made it his own revolutionised certain sections, he

:21:02. > :21:11.is down at the intermediate time, so I guess that is not working. He is

:21:12. > :21:20.swinging his arms, it is not textbook slalom skiing. He is

:21:21. > :21:25.behind, Henrik Kristoffersen into the last six turns and a bit of

:21:26. > :21:32.extra yardage under his ski bases and he is a little way off. There is

:21:33. > :21:42.are leader, Matt holding the top spot. Andre Myhrer is second. These

:21:43. > :21:47.guys are used to racing on blue eyes, bullet-proof eyes and the snow

:21:48. > :22:16.conditions here, they are a little bit softer -- ice. It has caught out

:22:17. > :22:26.two of the favourites. Next to come, Thaler. Matt has lifted the bar, can

:22:27. > :22:34.anyone respond and match the Austrian? The Italians took a

:22:35. > :22:39.surprise when last time-out. Thaler has got a tidy and neat technique.

:22:40. > :22:53.He will not be risking much with the line. He should not lose too much

:22:54. > :22:58.time. Might just be good enough. We have a 34-year-old leading, a

:22:59. > :23:06.35-year-old in trouble and out and down and it is over for Thaler. It

:23:07. > :23:12.seems to me that this course is suiting the old school technique,

:23:13. > :23:17.the distance and the offset, no matter how much the course turns

:23:18. > :23:22.from side to side is not very much. You need more up and down movement,

:23:23. > :23:28.you need your feet close together, the body angles you create are less

:23:29. > :23:49.important and what is important is speed of movement and skiing close

:23:50. > :23:59.to the gates. Next to go, Felix Neureuther. He is in trouble at the

:24:00. > :24:06.first section. He has recovered. He likes the conditions to be slightly

:24:07. > :24:14.softer, he can ski in all kinds of snow, he can ski on ice as well. He

:24:15. > :24:19.is called the cat because he is so relaxed on his skis. He did not get

:24:20. > :24:26.the best introduction to the Games, he was a late arrival and crashed

:24:27. > :24:31.his car in Bavaria he was in hospital for a while. It looks like

:24:32. > :24:57.he has put that behind him, and nice smooth finish. He will go close

:24:58. > :25:08.enough. The mother of Felix Neureuther was a double Olympic

:25:09. > :25:27.champion herself in 1976. So, let us see how the old men do now. He is 34

:25:28. > :25:33.years old. It is Ivica Kostelic. He has never won Olympic gold. This is

:25:34. > :25:41.messy. He has not had a great season. I cannot see him doing

:25:42. > :25:54.anything in the slalom but this kind of skiing. Come on to the flats,

:25:55. > :26:01.Ivica Kostelic looks a bit more comfortable, but as he emerges onto

:26:02. > :26:09.the steep final pitch, he is two seconds off the pace of Matt. Ivica

:26:10. > :26:15.Kostelic is more than two seconds down. Slowest of the finishers so

:26:16. > :26:38.far, disappointment for the Croatian fans. Next up, back with the

:26:39. > :26:58.Germans, it is 64. Start numbers are having a massive effect. This

:26:59. > :27:05.course, although it is in reasonable shape, considering the temperatures

:27:06. > :27:10.we have had, it is not as firm as World Cup courses would be. It will

:27:11. > :27:17.not hold up as well for the later starters. In fact, it is hard to see

:27:18. > :27:27.anyone getting a time close to that of Matt. 64 is in sixth position.

:27:28. > :27:33.Quite big gaps between first and seventh, there is room for the later

:27:34. > :27:44.starters to claim a place in the top 30. That is what counts. A chance to

:27:45. > :27:53.start early in the second run. The second run will be very different.

:27:54. > :28:01.Here is the French athlete, can he do some damage? Sometimes he can be

:28:02. > :28:12.a little bit shaky. This is OK from Alexis Pinturault. He is in touch

:28:13. > :28:16.here. He hooked his hand on the bottom of the gate which span him

:28:17. > :28:26.off slightly. He was on the edge of control. Sitting back, ever so

:28:27. > :28:30.slightly, he is in trouble. The French have plenty of chances, they

:28:31. > :28:35.have the former world champion coming later, Alexis Pinturault has

:28:36. > :28:42.to force the skis through the turn. He is fifth, that is not bad

:28:43. > :28:52.considering the mistakes. Alexis Pinturault is fifth, not bad at all.

:28:53. > :28:58.He is in front of Marcel Hirscher. It is going to be a different kettle

:28:59. > :29:10.of fish altogether. There is the hand hooked on the under gate. You

:29:11. > :29:27.suddenly have these quicker gates that come after you, you have to

:29:28. > :29:45.move your feet fast. He is an experienced man, at the age of 35, a

:29:46. > :29:52.few World Cup wins under his belt. The He is usually a clean skier,

:29:53. > :29:59.Herbst. He is making very few mistakes. With the top five

:30:00. > :30:04.separated by more than a second, there is certainly room for one of

:30:05. > :30:11.these racers starting from ten to 15 to come in and get involved but not

:30:12. > :30:15.Herbst. Not tonight. He is out. Look how close he was. The red line is

:30:16. > :30:21.the finishing line. That is how far he got before he fell. Just too much

:30:22. > :30:24.weight on the inside ski, not keeping the weight out over the

:30:25. > :30:26.outside ski. When that inside ski slips away, there is no safety net.

:30:27. > :30:43.Mario Matt the best of them. Frustration for the Austrian

:30:44. > :30:58.coaches. Next to go, former world champion, Grange from France. He has

:30:59. > :31:05.a massive fan club, right in front of our commentary box. They have

:31:06. > :31:15.made the journey from the French Apple -- Alps. He is on his way. At

:31:16. > :31:22.one time, Grange was one of the best slalom skiers in the world. He was

:31:23. > :31:30.very, very keen. He is back now, in the top 15. Look at this. He is

:31:31. > :31:35.right in touch, Grange. He appears to have the measure of the top half

:31:36. > :31:41.of this course. He hits the flats. Good acceleration. Again, it is

:31:42. > :31:47.suiting the old school technique. He is clean, no big mistakes.

:31:48. > :31:53.29-year-old Frenchman, onto the final pitch now. If he stays on his

:31:54. > :32:01.feet, he will not be far away. John Baptiste Grange, excellent. He gives

:32:02. > :32:10.himself a good chance of skiing for a medal in the second run. See how

:32:11. > :32:18.close his feet are, in on the polls. The difference between fact and

:32:19. > :32:23.Hirscher all Kristofferson... They go for big angles to try and

:32:24. > :32:26.generate speed. That works when you have a big offset but we don't have

:32:27. > :32:31.that today. The snow conditions don't allow you to get so much

:32:32. > :32:32.pressure on the ski. One of the Japanese race is going through his

:32:33. > :32:53.warm up routine. He is 35 years of age now, Raich

:32:54. > :33:01.and, in his final Olympic event. Well, both Raich Matt and -- Raich

:33:02. > :33:23.and Matt went to the same school. And he sends his skis either side of

:33:24. > :33:30.the control gate. Raich's illustrious Olympic career ends

:33:31. > :33:35.right there. He set up too early in on the gate. He was trying to come

:33:36. > :33:49.to much from behind and his inside ski hooked in above the gate.

:33:50. > :34:05.The Austrians have the lead. Mario Matt. Next to go, the next of the

:34:06. > :34:21.Swedes. It is Markus Larsson. He is 35 years of age.

:34:22. > :34:32.How close is Larsson here? He has never really looked a clean skier.

:34:33. > :34:36.He has always been on the edge of control. He's got very long levers

:34:37. > :34:44.and sometimes they go in different directions, shall we say? In the

:34:45. > :34:48.second run in 2002, when Alan Baxter came from eighth after the first run

:34:49. > :34:57.to take the bronze medal... Although he only held at temporarily. Larsson

:34:58. > :35:08.was in that race. The other one that was also in that race was cost of

:35:09. > :35:13.edge. -- Costavich. That was 12 years ago. These guys are still out

:35:14. > :35:18.there racing. Larsson has just skied into eighth position.

:35:19. > :35:23.David Ryan -- David Ryding skiing for Great Britain tonight, he will

:35:24. > :35:44.ski with bib number 35. Moelgg is on his way. Not a bad

:35:45. > :35:50.start. He has found his line. Early rhythm. It is tough out there

:35:51. > :35:56.already. There is quite a rut forming around the racing line. This

:35:57. > :36:01.is setting up nicely for a second run. The guys that skied had the

:36:02. > :36:07.advantage of skiing early on the first run, starting numbers one, two

:36:08. > :36:08.and three. They are all placed one, two and three. It is all going to

:36:09. > :36:30.change. Moelgg is ninth. That's all right.

:36:31. > :36:35.The Italian supporters are happy with what they've seen. At least

:36:36. > :36:40.they've got a man in the finish. They've also got the defending

:36:41. > :36:49.champion coming up later, who starts at number 22. He won the gold four

:36:50. > :37:02.years ago in Vancouver. At the moment, it is Matt's race.

:37:03. > :37:14.They are beautifully set for the second run. We have three who have

:37:15. > :37:18.failed to finish, including Herbst of Austria. Here is the man who has

:37:19. > :37:24.set the pace. It is Mario Matt from Austria. He is one of the oldest and

:37:25. > :37:29.so far the quickest. But still one of the most powerful men on the

:37:30. > :37:37.slalom tour. That is what has kept him at the top of his game for so

:37:38. > :37:43.long. They are queueing up at the top. It is a massive queue. It's

:37:44. > :37:59.makes all the way up the mountain. 117 are due to start the first run.

:38:00. > :38:10.Next to go will be Ted who has already claimed a goal. -- gold. He

:38:11. > :38:22.is going to have to do something tasty to match the top times.

:38:23. > :38:30.They get the rakes and shovels out to try and repair and make it

:38:31. > :38:35.fairer. I cannot see this course is suiting Ted. It's too steep and too

:38:36. > :38:41.long. There is not enough offset. Let's see how he goes. He is out of

:38:42. > :38:46.the gate and into the pattern of gates for the final event of the

:38:47. > :38:50.games, the slalom. See how his feet are slightly further away from the

:38:51. > :38:52.gates and he is trying to turn and generate speed by skiing around a

:38:53. > :39:12.line. -- a rounder line. He showed everybody how to win an

:39:13. > :39:17.Olympic title with some sensational skiing. This is confident looking

:39:18. > :39:21.skiing from him. He is within eight tenths of the lead. Not bad at all.

:39:22. > :39:26.If you can stay on his feet and finish, he will not be far away from

:39:27. > :39:32.Mario Matt. He has skied well. He is fifth. That is a great ski. Just

:39:33. > :39:36.about the best slalom performance of his season so far. I eat my hat on

:39:37. > :39:43.that one. It goes to show, when you've got a medal, how much easier

:39:44. > :39:47.the Olympic Games becomes. That is the bar -- best slalom skiing I've

:39:48. > :39:52.seen from him all season. It's on a course which should not have suited

:39:53. > :39:59.his style Rhys -- really. But he had no mistakes at all. That is his

:40:00. > :40:13.ultra-calve celebration of the finish. Don't try this at home. What

:40:14. > :40:17.a run! That is encouraging for the later starters, especially those

:40:18. > :40:24.starting after the next time out, the next course repair. Gross is

:40:25. > :40:33.next to go. The 27-year-old Italian. He is the best of the Italians --

:40:34. > :40:40.the best of the Italians is Moelgg at the moment.

:40:41. > :40:48.I always find with Gross, that he drops his hand so low, it, for me,

:40:49. > :40:54.puts the weight onto the back of the skis.

:40:55. > :41:05.How close is Gross? Pretty good. He seems to be making the most of this

:41:06. > :41:12.pattern of gates, which has been said by one of the German coaches.

:41:13. > :41:14.Stefano Gross hasn't made any major mistakes and he is third. How about

:41:15. > :41:28.that from number 17? Just a reminder of the standings

:41:29. > :41:32.here.
