Snow is falling in the Southern Hemisphere and racing has begun, officially launching the 2016-17 alpine competition season. If we wrote about horse racing, the headline would read, “And it’s off to the races.” In El Colorado, Chile, men and women contested two giant slalom races a piece on July 29. On the ladies’ side, World Cup athlete Noelle Barahona of Chile claimed back-to-back victories. On the men’s side, Thomas Maitre of France took one win while Andres Figueroa of Chile proved victorious in the second race of the day. Meanwhile in South Africa, yes, South Africa – at a resort called Tiffindell – skiers from several European nations started the process of lowering their points with a marathon of slalom. A total of 10 slalom races for each gender were contested between July 26 and Aug. 1, so it’s no surprise that first-year FIS skier Tormis Laine of Estonia eventually took a tumble. Our legs would have been pretty tired too.
