Way to go Shiffy!
In all fairness, many thought that the suspension from the team was harsh. I know I do.Quote:

They should have dealt with the issue in private IMO. Or maybe he had an history of being a douche, I don't know, but that's not my impression and it never transpired to the press earlier.
lets stop talking about some rude dude

No upside on the team event. Doesnt want to chance getting hurt. She was to concentrate on the overall, sl and gs title.Quote:

I laughed, half the maggots who read this weren't alive when it happened.Quote:

Now I get it
eta. ever ski with these two? bring your binoculars in order to keeping them in sight.
I thought it was pretty cool to watch (so made for tv, sure, but fun to watch). Totally get why she passed with a gold and silver already in her pocket.Quote:

The discontinuity and also illness of the Olympics seem to have her in a bit of maintenance mode. It will be interesting to see how much muscle she adds after things wrap up this season, as she still seems committed to improving even more for speed events long-term.
Clinched the overall title today!
3rd in GS race.
Mowinckel wins her first World Cup Podium.
Woohoo!Quote:

Congrats to Shiffrin, very cool.
I really like Mowinckel, super stoked for her.
I agree, she is always super polite and really nice to the organizers. She is one of favorite athletes on the tour.Quote:

Finished her season with a bang.
We'll see how much lean body mass she wants to add on over the next few months.
She's on a completely different level, when her head isn't in her way, than the rest of the field.
That must be the 5th or 6th race that she's won by over a second this year
Yep! Agree with that assessment.
