Ahead of the Winter Olympics in February 2014, Graham Bell and Ed Leigh introduce coverage of women's downhill racing on the World Cup circuit at Val d'Isere, followed by ski cross from Val Thorens. Slovenian Tina Maze, who has broken just about every record in Alpine skiing, will be the one to watch in the downhill, though she faces stiff competition from the in-form Lara Gut of Switzerland, who won here last year. American Lindsey Vonn, arguably the greatest downhill skier of all time, is recovering from a career-threatening injury but could challenge the two favourites. The race is followed by the mayhem and danger of ski cross. After making its Olympic debut in Vancouver 2010, ski cross became hugely popular and promises to be a massive hit in Sochi 2014.
