After 'really awesome' World Cup opener, Paula Moltzan eyes second Winter Olympics

Paula Moltzan, the U.S. alpine ski racer, is eyeing a second Olympic appearance following her Austria result, where she earned her best World Cup giant slalom finish with a second place.
Moltzan's Beijing experience, where COVID rules limited supporters, helped shape her drive as she finished eighth and 12th individually and came fourth in the mixed team parallel with only Ryan Mooney attending.
Moltzan, U.S. alpine ski racer, said, `It was really awesome,` planning a day-to-day approach while building on last season.
The U.S. Olympic Ski Team roster is due in January, with Moltzan an early favorite; she plans to bring family, saying `my sister, my brother and my four nieces and nephews`.
Quoting Moltzan, the U.S. women's giant slalom team is unusually deep: `The women's U.S. Ski Team on the G.S. side hasn't been this strong since the early 80s`, Moltzan said; she was a standout at the University of Vermont and 2017 NCAA slalom champion.
