@roadrunnerblink Downhill is almost 80% about the line you take. If your a stronger/technically better skier you can ski a faster more aggressive line.

@roadrunnerblink In skiing, women are naturally better technical skiers because not many have the strength that the men do, and men make up for their technical disadvantage by their brute strength, that is why there is a mens and a womens DH. 'Surely gravity is the same for everyone' DH, is not all about gravity, its about how you flex and the ski in the turn, the more you flex the ski during the turn, the more it pushes back, and the more speed you get at the end of the turn = YOU WIN :)

@roadrunnerblink Plenty of reasons - weight and strength mostly. These two have a huge impact on the outcome.
