Super G globe.
Yeah, I wonder how Weirather would have finished out, she was leading at the split I believe before she DNFed.
Good for Mikaela, now on to the GS globe....
I feel like the big names sports companies are missing out by not making her a premier athlete and promoting her as such. Whether people are skiers or not I think she could have a much bigger fan base than she currently does. She really should be a household name at this point and we should be seeing her on regular tv commercials etc.
For real, she looked great this morning. With the trucker hat and those sick new Oakley sunglasses. She should be way more universally known.
I never get to Europe anymore but she's gotta be a household name from the Arctic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.Quote:

Barilla, Bose, Oakley, Longines, Visa, Audi, IKON pass, NetJets. That's just off the top of my head from following her IG. Don't know what companies are bigger in those respective industries, but pretty sure she's filthy rich already.Quote:

She cares about one thing with regards to her professional life, winning. Showing up for red carpet events, TV interviews, publicity tours, commercial shoots, etc. takes away from training time and personal time. Given that she's probably "home' for no more than 4-8 weeks a year, max, I don't think she'd want to sacrifice a couple of those precious down days to go sit around all day at an event.
She lives At home still. She doesn’t have a car. She hasn’t spent much of any of her winnings. She is certainly in it for the wins.
She has her own home that has been worked on all winter while on tour, and will be out of her parents house once the ski season is over.Quote:

The stalker is strong on this page!
Lol
win 16, and 40 in the SL.
Damn. She actually looked like she was skiing on the edge too her second run. Took one off the boob and had to really stay on top of her skis at a few points.
plus just on prize money alone she is the highest paid athlete on the World Cup men or women, hows that for wage disparity?Quote:

But holy Alice Robinson!!!
2nd at 17!!!
Alice Robinson is so freaking good, watch her on that final pitch, she gets to the new ski so quickly. She refuses to get caught holding on to the old ski. Really impressive skiing.
Just took a look at her run and wow, so fluid and quick through the transition.Quote:
