MIKAELA WOO!
So, she has nothing left to do in the SL world.
Congrats Mikaela
enjoyed watching your SL tonight. you will go far. Nice recovery. not to often you hear I was going to fast into that flush and had to recover. IE I was killing it so fast and the course switched to a flush where you gain speed and I kept it together to win GOLD.
awesome performance today
Guess all those drills skiing on one foot paid off.
Ya, sure, but can she dolphin turn?
Good point. Not a very well rounded skier.Quote:

And a story from when she was a freshman at BMA:

Was finally able to find video of her two runs. Holy shit does she rip. The way she got back in the groove on the second run was beyond amazing.Quote:

Shiffrin in women's slalom and Ted in GS were the two most impressive alpine performances in Sochi IMO... but I missed the men's super-G (about to watch now).
Looks like she finished making the post Olympic publicity rounds and is back in Europe to finish out the WC season.

Too about about the fall at the end of her GS run yesterday, still up by .68 at the last split when she went down.

Won by 2.65 with an edge catch at the start of run two. Pretty fucking dominant.
She's crazy good...
She is crazy hot.
^^^Yup.
Frida Hansdotter isn't so bad either, same with Lara Gut..Quote:
