Uploading is complete for the women's Wednesday slalom. There are 178 selected slalom images, about three per racer. I could only shoot the first run.
There was a lot of fine racing that didn't always pay off. Conditions were challenging.
Note that there are some very closely cropped shots of racers on the gates closest to me. I was using a zoom lens, but the rain shield needed in the snow flurries made zooming difficult and I wasn't always able to zoom in closely enough to get a full-body shot. But I also happen to like tight cropped images of athletes, and I hope you will, too. They tend to show more personality and facial emotion.
There are images of things that didn't go well. See images 137-140. I don't include them to revel in misery, but to reflect, with compassion and empathy, on what went wrong, and to illustrate what a difficult sport this can be.
In a separate gallery, I posted the media submissions from Wednesday.
