Netflix has a couple shows for the 2018 games with Shiffrin, and several other athletes/sports.
Bamavail skis on ice.

She went out this am on first run. That's two back to back DNF's. She has to be exhausted.
That is what I'm thinking too. She may have been testing her endurance to see what she is capable of during the Olympics.Quote:

Stoked for Mowinckel, she is coming on just in time for the Olympics. Big fan of the Norwegian and Italian woman’s teams.

Her shrink has some work to do before the big O.
LOL.... She had today's race won but got twisted up a few short gates from the finish. Hard to believe she had never DNF'd until a couple weeks ago, and now has three....Quote:

She'll be fine. Still has a chance at 3-5 medals, and has to be the favorite in the combined and slalom.

I was watching the races this week end, and Florence Masnada, Eurosport french speaking consultant, thought she seemed to have some trouble with her gear lately. She's the only Atomic female athlete in SL, and her ski are very energetic but unforgiving. She has to be absolutely on top of her game (like she usually is) and probably need some rest before Korea.
/Epic
She ended up on the inside ski again, but it's funny you make the Epic reference, because that place was famous for trying to get people on their inside ski. Between maybe more issues with anxiety, changed routines, and possible flu or chest cold, she's entitled, and said she was exhausted at a point where she normally makes time off of her ski pop. Rest will definitely help, and I am sure there will be an outside ski mantra.Quote:

Sounds like she has, well, worked really hard, to improve in terms of strength and lean body mass, as well.
So is she inside her own head? 0 medals, dnfs the rest of the season?
God I hope not! She's been so hot this season, it'll be a lifetime regret if she doesn't clean house in these Olympics. I just worry that it's too much pressure and she's cracked in the last 3 races.
I'm concerned as well. There were a few clips in her documentary Mikaela Shiffrin:Peak Season on NBC sports that showed the crushing pressure she puts on herself and it looked like she was close to cracking. I hope she is taking a break before the Olympics start. I'm sure she is training. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, Hopefully the nbc machine doesn't totally chew her up and spit her out in the coming weeks.

Chill y'all. Shiffrin is a big league hitter. Hits home runs at crunch time. Seeing how she's only 22, we can look forward to her crushing many more Olympics if this one is not in the stars. Looking forward to several more Olympics with her attendance.Quote:

Bode on her fitness level and making time on the last third of the course, https://uk.reuters.com/video/2018/02...ts+and+Leisure .
Do y'all think shiffrin has a legit shot in oly gs? Odds moved from +200 to +160 on her to win gs gold. She's -400 to win slalom.
She's also 15/1 to win super g
She clearly has a good shot at gs. Super g seems like the biggest long shot, based on prior results.
