Sets the scene nicely for Woodsy on Thursday. If people have been impressed by the snowboarders, they are going to be blown away by the skiers.

I'm going on what Graham Bell was saying about the course when he did his camera run, he says this ranks right up there with the toughest ever downhills.

Would it be better to run it over 2 or even 3 runs? Would this approach give a very chance to the more consistent skiers.

The Olympic downhill is different, it's far more challenging than a standard World Cup run. Gold goes to the skier who gets it right on the day. Go big or go home.

Can't wait to see the skiers rip it up. Men's moguls tomorrow, woman's slope style Tuesday and the men on Thursday.

Bit dusty here too.

And that's why you wear a helmet!

That's got to hurt.

Solid first run.
