Recap of Thursday’s GS race:
As the day progressed, the snow surface became warmer and rougher. The second run in the GS was by far the most challenging.
Elli Terwiel (Sun Peaks/BCDT) sat 16th after the first run, but was a little cautious in the second, losing ground and closing the day in 24th spot with a combined time of one minute, 52.23 seconds.
Women’s BC Team Coach Nancy O’Neill believes races such as this one, where the smallest of errors has a major impact on time, are teaching the whole team to "make better use of the second run and not back off even a little".
