Hello, Elle,
1 Lindsey Vonn, 2 Tina Weirather, 3 Viktoria Rebensburg.
Great racing!
Vonn is closing in on the all-time Alpine skiing wins record, held for many years by Ingemar Stenmark.
She is the real deal!
Pleased for Tina. The wind did her no favours yesterday.

Glad you're all a bunch of intellectuals and got the answer - fortunately it wasn't a very 'ard clue.

Hello, Pigale!
An intellectual can be known as a "highbrow".
Now, how would that be said in Bow, according to the setter?

Pigale, you and I must have been typing at the same time - I didn't realise you 'adn't got 'eyebrow'.

Hi, Rusty!
Well done, Lindsey! she is doing very well, indeed! and I'm pleased to see that Tina did better today after the mishap with the strong winds yesterday!
I've no idea how the time here compares with the United Arab Emirates, so that you can check on your golf? Could you not google to find out?
You have mentioned Faugheen before - an Irish horse? - is he named after the similarly spelt place, Faughan?
That was quite a good clue that Malone provided, I thought? - and it included an hononym, too!
We have now got a "window" of weak sunshine, so are just going out for a short walk.......................

Hi again Malone,

problem mostly due to vocabulary - I thought 'highbrow' meant 'snob' or someone who evolved in high society - hence I did not 'click' .

Hello, Elle!
Yes, very pleased for Tina.
The golf is a puzzle.
It is a European Tour event, held in Abu Dhabi, which is not in Europe.
Asia, maybe? Anyway, Rickie Fowler is leading, and I like Rickie.
On the last day of each tournamentt, Rickie dresses in orange, the colours of Oklahoma Uni. Rickie is very proud to have gone there.
Faugheen is well known, he is the reigning Champion Hurdler, and today he runs in the Irish Champion Hurdle.
He is named after Faugheen Chapel in County Waterford.
Yes, a good clue by Malone.
A homonym? I am not sure what that is?
