00:00 One massive score to beat. She just said she has more pressure and that balance.
00:05 She wants to go big but she needs to stay on her feet. How do you balance that as a rider?
00:09 I guess we'll see.
00:10 Yeah, I'm really curious what her strategy is going to be.
00:16 She is on the face catching some air time straight out of start one and locking in a big one there.
00:25 Stomps the landing and looking over towards the lookers right of the venue.
00:29 It is steep over here skiing above exposure. Astrid with that trademark speed. She always
00:34 is skiing fast and she is above no easy way out of this section.
00:40 Getting a little bit, taking that one big stomping the landing.
00:45 Oh and Astrid off that air with the slough pouring down. Hopefully Dom and Jeremy had a good angle.
00:52 There's going to be some magic photos coming out of that and another big one here below for Astrid.
00:58 So powerful, really powerful skiing. I wonder what her last move is going to be.
01:02 She's lining it up here and taking a big chunk out of this one.
01:09 Oh the ski just getting caught up twice in the crust. That left foot kicking out. Astrid
01:17 managing to pull it back and then having to pull it back again. Just showing the athleticism of
01:22 these athletes and we do have, looks like it's another pole missing I believe. Oh it's the
01:28 revenge of the ski poles today. Yep. In the ski women's field shaking that left hand. Yeah a bit
01:35 of a control issue there but she managed that really well. I guess she did some squats as well.
01:39 Actually I share a coach, a physical coach with Astrid so she's putting the work for sure.
01:47 All right Elizabeth let's run us through this replay as we see Astrid Shea loose. The line
01:53 score maxed out. You know getting into it straight from the start that's really good
01:57 for your mental game if you can get it a hit. As we see those beautiful turns.
02:05 That perfect little transition. I love the way that turn transitioned into the air too. She
02:13 bellied out the turn, built the pressure and then straight off the cliff and this is where maybe
02:17 we'll see the pole take off a little bit of a different angle than we saw Hedvig go.
02:22 Oh the snow just grabbed it as it was grabbing her skis.
02:28 Elizabeth you said in your forerunner's report right around that elevation the snow changed and
02:35 it was quite a rapid change. Do you think that's what that was just the getting into the crusty
02:39 zone? I believe so and also it's a really flat landing and that doesn't help but she's happy,
02:46 she's smiling. Yeah looked like she had a little bit of a sore wrist there maybe the
02:50 the four-point landing just taking its toll. So this is an extremely anxious time
02:56 for these athletes. Here is the score it's up it's an 86.00 Astrid Shea loose on the podium
03:08 into third. That means Zuza is in second and you can see there on the Dynastar hot seat
03:15 the look on Hedvig's face as it washes over her what's just happened.
