Yep.  Skied the tighter line without falling at greater speed.  Regardless of what video you put up, that's the answer.

That is not a description of technique or tactics. All you said is "he won because he was faster". Kind-of a circular reference don't you think? We aren't talking about regurgitating the results sheet here; we are talking about how and why the results are what they are. If it were as easy as you say, coaching athletes would be as simple as saying, "well, you just need to ski faster". Your insinuation that what we are discussing is that simple is rather arrogant.

In GS, Ted skis a tighter line than Marcel. Even when they both stand up, Marcel usually beats Ted. Using deductive reasoning we can assert that Marcel must be skiing faster. Okay. Why? How? It is one thing if you aren't interested in the why and the how, but belittling such important factors is a bit ignorant in my opinion.
