Beautiful skiing and I bet half the Atomic factory was there to see it.
Amazing.
Just to see her happy is good enough for me. I don't care about records. She is a good person. Period.
She is So Smooth.
Effortless.

I'm so glad she was finally able to break through and get back to the top. It has been a long difficult year for her.
So glad that she is here to remind us that humanity is not just a bunch of selfish assholes. THANK YOU MEKAELA!!!
Smooth and effortless - like Ingemar doing that box jump at 60y/o!Quote:

She has more slalom wins than most countries have podiums in their entire FIS history
Day 2 Slovenia, run 2 live now Olympic channel.
4th in today's GS.
Check out her run if ya can. Girl had em running fast!!
Boy she skied clean up top.
Without that speed scrub at 1:10-1:15 into her run she woulda won!
You can even hear her vocalize her mistake in the audio.
And first Super G race of the year for her, no?
Go Schiff!
In an interview, she said she was 98% happy with her run and having fun while skiing, and 2% motivated.
This points to good race watching for the rest of the Championships. She has 3 more events to go.
Yep, scrubbed about .50-.60 seconds on that gate.Quote:

She is an amazing racer !
Stenmark, Hirscher, Shiffrin.
the people who claim she is competing against a 'weak' field . . . Gut and Vhlova would be competitive in any era ; LV was The Champion who led the way ;
it is such a Pleasure to watch her race
( I really don't care if she never wins again ( and I believe she will ( win again. and again. and again... ))) - tj
I appreciate that she calls people out.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4b7b9f3f18.jpg
Classy competitor
First Super G in over a year and she only did very limited training even. She had not done Super G and started training in the 3rd week of January. She also made this comment:Quote:

“That’s nice because that opens it up a little bit,” she said.

USA only get 4 racers on the World Championship entry for Super G, and as the reigning SG World Champion, Mikaela earned her right for her to get a fifth spot on the entry, so there is no reason why she would not take that spot.Quote:
