Switzerland's Daniel Yule was the slowest first-run skier to qualify for the finale. That made him the first skier to attack the final run.

He accomplished his miracle with a second run that was (-0.64) faster than anyone else.

The Edge Grinding Rubber, or "gummy stone," is one of my most utilized and thought-about pieces of tuning equipment. A gummy stone can be used to remove rust. (But if you use it on your base edge, do so sparingly). Base edges are easily affected and shouldn’t be meddled with). A gummy can also be used to take the spiky-ness off of a particularly bad burr (but a file and diamond stones will do the actual fixing). 

Portes du Soleil, France, Jan. 31, 2024 — Today was a big day of racing at the 2024 FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in Portes du Soleil, France, a weeklong event that brings together the best under-21 ski racers in the world.

In the sport of ski racing, the success of an athlete, especially in their developmental stages, can come down to the aspects that seem less impactful. Subtle differences in training, body development, strength, where the athlete begins on the start list, and several other factors can cause different outcomes. 

Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami takes a commanding (+0.59) lead into the afternoon run of Tuesday's Kronplatz ERTA World Cup giant slalom (GS). Skiing with bib five, she used her impressive skills to cross the finish (-0.84) faster than her closest rival for the season's GS title, Italy's Federica Brignone. None of the talented women could come within half a second of her time, but the nearest is New Zealand's Alice Robinson (+0.59). Notably, Robinson's coach, Nils Coberger, set the first run.

Seven GS races have already set the stage for a thrilling Kronplatz race. Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland leads the pack with 485 points, closely trailed by Italy's Federica Brignone with 460 points. The gap is a mere 25 points, making every turn on the ERTA slope crucial. Unfortunately, Shiffrin's and Grenier's crashes while racing in Cortina d'Ampezzo will mean they will miss the race in Kronplatz and likely eliminate them from the close battle for the season's GS title.
