McGarry to concentrate on slalom events

IRELAND’S Kirsty McGarry is almost certain to give the Ladies Super G downhill event tomorrow a miss in order to concentrate on the Ladies Slalom events scheduled for February 22 and 24.

“It is looking very doubtful for Sunday due to the current, very severe course conditions,” said her mother, alpine coach Jane McGarry.

“But we will make a final decision today when we see what the course and weather conditions are like. “Kirsty’s best events are in the slalom disciplines and we feel it may be better to save herself for these competitions.”
