Going Downhill

Wendy and Shelley explain why coaches should not sleep with their athletes and also go over some night slalom pre-xmas racing! Dave Ryding has some fans with our coaches for sure!  Sorry about the late post all...holiday interference :) 

A long episode where there are a ton of races to catch up on. The men race 5 days in a row with mostly surprising results but also some unsurprising winners in Italy.  While the women face a technically challenging course and a super G with an almost 50% DNF rate that made things exciting. Wendy saves a story for the end about being saved by an Italian stranger and Shelley tries her best not to co...

Wendy and Shelley look at a the Men racing in Val D'Isere for a day and how the retirements affect the young guns that are pushing into the top 30. Meanwhile the Women race a relatively boring track in mediocre conditions in St. Moritz until it gets cancelled.

BONJOUR from Mt. Temblant! There they Wendy and Shelley discuss the men briefly not running and give their analysis with athlete interviews for the exciting races in Quebec! 

Shelley and a pantless Wendy analyze the races in Killington...Were there any big surprises? Not really. But the set differences between the SL runs made for interesting watching as Vlohva and Shiffrin battle it out (like always). 

Shelley is excited for #GBR #GreatBritain for the first time ever and Wendy talks about the security as the race was delayed for climate activists in the finish. The women are blown off of the Glacier in Zermatt and Shelley lectures Wendy in the bonus content with lots of swears. 

Wendy and Shelley discuss what Zermatt is like and what they know about the country of Finland. Who is attacking from the back and why we have chin bars on SL helmets. 

Wendy and Shelley are back to take a look at the WC season opener in Sölden! The women rocked it and the men were blown away.....

Wendy and Shelley review a boring women's SG and some really exciting combined races in Cortina. Other stuff happens in between and they also cover that. 

Wendy and Shelley go over the ladies races for last weekend. They discuss why blind jumps aren't a bad thing and Shelley almost forgets there was a GS.

Wendy and Shelley discuss what happened at Kitz, some bad crashes and the night SL in Schladming!

SKI RACING IS BACK! Wendy and Shelley are back in the podcasting saddle to bring you the latest rules and regs with COVID and our assessment of Solden!!!! Yeah! 

So finals has been cancelled and that has made the fight for the globe even more exciting! Shelley and Wendy talk about what's happening and who won on a sunny day DH...and who didn't race on a rainy foggy day for the SG. 

What's FIS going to do about COVID-19 (aka the Novel Coronavirus) and how will that strategically change how/where racers will race?  This week Wendy and Shelley dive into La Thuile, Italy with the ladies and Hinterstoder, Austria for the men...Lots of close results and laughing ensue. 

Who made history for their nation this week?  A few athletes actually! This week Wendy and Shelley dissect the men as they take on soft conditions in Japan and the women rock some DH and combined events in Switzerland...

This week Wendy and Shelley go over why Beat Feuz seems to always be in the mix. Alice Robinson is rocking the Volkl's for a win and what's the Slogan for Cortina?

Wanna know how many DNFs there were in Chamonix? Who was injured in Garmisch? And which athletes don't like the Dual GS as much as the two hosts?  Wendy is back from Mexico and Shelley is back from a lot of coaching to answer these questions and more!  

Want to hear about a woman streaking almost naked in skiing? Want to hear what happened last weekend on the World Cup circuit?  Wendy and Shelley Dish out the goods on Kitz and Bansko this week on the pod! 

Why don't Wendy and Shelley like the parallel GS event?  Who is annoyed at being filmed while training and why does that matter anyway?  Which Italian man is in and which Italian man is out?  The ladies look at Sestriere and Wengen with a small Kitz preview in this episode of Going Downhill. :) 

Wow, a long week of racing is past us. Wendy and Shelley put their analysis and spin on what happened in the SG...why did so many people get knocked out? Who broke a 13 yr dry streak and for what nation? Find out on this weeks episode! 

Zagreb - the easiest hardest race you ever did see! The herd was thinned on the mens side for a very exciting time and Wendy and Shelley will tell you what Svindal has been up to and just how crazy the women's and men's races were -- because they were CRAZY. 

Hey Wanna hear how much Shelley and Wendy talk about two characters dominating the circuit?  This week the ladies discuss a few injuries, some heavy metal music, and go over the results leading into the new year.  Shelley confesses how much she thinks people should watch Mayer more and Wendy gives an accurate description of how an injury occurs. 

Wendy and Shelley have never seen the Wizard of Oz, they also didn't see the GS this weekend because it didn't happen. The duo look at the men's and women's races for the weekend and we discover that Wendy does not like Duals. 

This week Wendy and Shelley wrap up the men with Birds of Prey in Beaver Creek and WinterStart at Lake Louise with the Ladies.  Kudos the @Sleddogs and @craigliethcoyotes for the hard work…didn’t think you’d pull it all off but you did! The Ladies (if you can call them that) talk to a few of the women about the race and how to race,  and Shelley uses @KellyVanderBeek for her researching skills.  s...

What the Shiffrin???  Wendy and Shelley get together in Lake Louise with a lot of laughs (check out the bloopers...so many).  The dynamic duo interview the men at WinterStart and analyze the races out east in Killington.   #skiracing #alpinecanada #thomasdressen #benthompson #brodieseiger #alexkilde #norway #germany #100yearsAlpineCanada #voelklskis
