But a tie for the gold medal SAVE in an Alpine Olympic event had never MORE occurred before Wednesday’s women’s downhill at the Sochi Games. When Tina Maze of Slovenia, a favorite in the event, descended the racecourse in the late morning, she was chasing the little-known early leader, Dominique Gisin of Switzerland. As Maze crossed the finish line, a giant scoreboard over her shoulder pronounced her time as 1 minute 41.57 seconds. It then flashed a No. 1 next to Maze’s name — and a No. 1 next to Gisin’s name.

  • Olympiasiegerin Michelle Gisin: «Was Mache Ich Eigentlich Da?»
    Olympiasiegerin Michelle Gisin: «Was mache ich eigentlich da?» 16.11.2018 ‑ 00:00, Bruno Bötschi Michelle Gisin über ihre Leidenschaft: «Ich fahre nicht Skirennen, weil ich möglichst viel Geld verdienen will. Ich fahre Ski, weil mich das glücklich macht. Weil ich den Skisport extrem liebe.» Bild: Keystone Olympiasiegerin Michelle Gisin erzählt im Interview von ihrem Umgang mit der Angst während eines Abfahrtsrennens. Sie sagt überdies, warum ihr der Umweltschutz am Herz liegt – und klärt über ihren Lieblingsmann auf. Eigentlich hätte Michelle Gisin an diesem Nachmittag im Engadin trainieren sollen. Aber das Wetter machte dem Schweizer Skiteam einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Stattdessen sitzt die Kombinations‑ Olympiasiegerin jetzt mit dem «Bluewin»‑Journalisten in einer Beiz in ihrem Heimatort Engelberg. Gisin hat ein verrückt erfolgreiches Jahr hinter sich: Vier Jahre nach ihrer Schwester Dominique gewann auch sie an Olympischen Spielen eine Goldmedaille. Wer mit Michelle Gisin dieser Tage spricht, spürt, dass es noch etwas Zeit braucht, bis sie ihren Olympiasieg richtig einordnen kann. Es ist aber auch zu spüren: Diese Frau ist bereit für mehr. Viel mehr. Wenn nicht schon in diesem Winter, so will sie spätestens im nächsten um den Gesamtweltcup ein Wörtchen mitreden. Und das mit dem Reden ist durchaus wortwörtlich gemeint: Die 24‑jährige Sportlerin redet gern. Es sprudelt geradezu aus ihr heraus. Frau Gisin, wir machen heute ein Frage‑Antwort‑Spiel: Ich stelle Ihnen in der nächsten 30 Minuten möglichst viele Fragen – und Sie antworten möglichst schnell und spontan. Passt Ihnen eine Frage nicht, sagen Sie einfach «weiter». Das schaffen wir. Hunde oder Katze? Katze. Definitiv. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob die Hunde mehr Angst vor mir haben oder ich vor ihnen.

GANONG’S COLT MOWS DOWN THEM ALL IN SANTA CATERINA VALFURVA by Claudio Pea A success for the American who comes from the lake dear to Kit Carson and lives with Michelle Marie Gagnon – Another fantastic podium for Dominik Paris, the fourth of the season. And now it’s a second place in the DH World Cup – Second place for the Olympic champion Matthias Mayer – A change in the start because of the strong wind damages Christof Innerhofer – Eleventh place for Peter Fill, who has got fever SANTA CATERINA VALFURVA, DECEMBER 28TH - There is always someone who – for a few hundredth of a second – spoils Dominik Paris’ party. This time those “someone” are an American who comes from the town of Kit Carson, the legendary pioneer of the far west, and the number one of the Austrians, the Olympic DH champion in Sochi, Matthias Mayer. Travis Ganong, the winner of the Santa Caterina Valfurva Downhill World Cup lives with his Canadian girlfriend Marie Michelle Gagnon (she is a specialist of technical World Cup races) on Lake Tahoe, on the border between California and Nevada. Before today’s exploit he was on the podium only once, third place in the Kvitfjell DH, last year. However, for better or worse – and perhaps taking advantage of the long absence of Svindal and Guay due to injury – he is always one of the top DH 7. He grew up in the legendary Squaw Valley ski area, the home of the 1960 Winter Games and was a freeskier before dedicating to alpine skiing. “I love my mountains and the beautiful lake, and of course Marie Michelle.
