I noticed that there in Sochi, women are clearly skiing a modified, shortened version of the downhill course. Also, at the worldcup event, I think the women were skiing a different course (Maybe Raptor or something?) than the men (Birds of Prey).
Is this always the case that the women ski a different downhill course? I wasn't sure if that were the case, or if it was because this is Super Combined as opposed to true downhill. I'm new to really paying attention to alpine racing, but I think it's fucking rad.
On this point, what are your guys thoughts on this? Specifically to the gals that race or did race, how do you feel about a less "challenging" course? This topic just sort of reminded me of the talk of different jumps for men and women in slope....I'm surprised this never got brought into the argument.
