The declarations of the dominatrixes of the Olympic combined, with different sensations since, this time, Holdener is not satisfied with the place of honor.

First and third in PyeongChang 2018, first and second in Beijing 2022.
The women's alpine combined is entirely from Switzerland and Michelle Gisin and Wendy Holdener, who were able to give two more medals to the Red Cross team that really dominated the Alpine skiing medal table at these Games, just think that of ten individual races, five were won by the Swiss-Ski champions.
And be careful, because the Swiss team will also be among the favorites of the team event on Saturday. For Gisin, he is an Olympic second and third career medal, the second in this edition after the bronze in super-g. Still, Michelle had come very angry at this combo, after being excluded from the quartet of a descent she strongly believed in. "I was also disappointed with how the decision was communicated to me - she explained on the Blick columns - Today when I saw the gap in the descent (one second from Scheyer, 44 cents from Shiffrin), I realized that I should have done a great slalom and it's amazing that it worked so well.
It is a pity that Mikaela did not reach the finish line, I would have liked to fight for gold with her (as happened in 2018, with the American silver, ed). It is the second time that I celebrate with Wendy, for the whole Swiss team it is a great success, with the women's sector we have won three out of five races. I don't know what else to say about it ... ".
