She could become the first American since Steven Nyman in 2002 to take a slalom gold
medal at world juniors. It won’t be easy, however, with Emelie Wikstrom of Sweden and
Wendy Holdener of Switzerland as worthy competitors. Wikstrom is third in the Europa
In downhill, the Swiss are as
strong as they are on the World
Cup with Holdener, Corrine Sut-er, and Justin Mursier. Behind
Cochran-Siegle in super G, Nils
Mani of Switzerland will contend.
Among the women look for Jennifer Piot of France and Jasmine Flury.
The Canadian dozen are a generally younger group, but there are high expectations for
Trevor Philp, according to Jean-Francois Belisle, the head coach of the men’s team. “He
has shown he can be very competitive at the NorAm level, and he did a really good job
last year,” Belisle said. “Hopefully he can keep moving things forward and generate some
good performances. We are just hoping he can ski to the best of his abilities and we will
see what happens.”
