Jonny Moseley smoked the field

Rory Bushfield won that celebrity diving reality show years back. I think he even beat Kareem. So maybe he should be in the convo [emoji23]

Wasn’t Bloom a kick returner for the Buffs, too?

I learned today that Amelie Redmond has 158 World Cup wins in telemark skiing. If you consider telemark skiing a sport, you’d have to throw her into ring.

Good point - we should probably count that as all-time status in a third sport. Wilt is the winner. ;-)

For the record, in terms of dominating their individual sport alone, Wayne Gretzky is probably the correct answer. I mean, he's "The Great One" and no one argues with it. No one has even come close to sniffing his totals.

Today,

Flachau SL Shiffrin is Bib 1.

Start time 1800 LOC and rub rub 2 20:45 LOC. This is one we should be able to watch and both runs are queued up my Peacock, 9am for me run 1 and run 2

Michaela says she doesn't worry about numbers but would expect some nervousness today.

She’s so damn smooth! Looked slow but still got everyone except Vlhova, who’s coach made the set.

Vlhova’s Coach Pini set the first course. Second course will be set by Norwegian Coach Haarala

I have the 1st run recorded... And run 2 cued up. starts in less than 30 minutes! She only has to make up 0.17......History will be made...soon!!

Let's go Mikaela!

Announcer just said that the entire field collectively only has half the total number of victories that Shiffrin does. That's astounding.

Jim Thorpe would like a word. Gold in the decathlon, pentathlon, pro football and pro baseball.

Nah. She's clearly losing it. Will likely never podium again.

it’s really a shame to see her go out like this

Some good information. Miki was ill. Megan's uncle was the starter at our race this weekend. A job he has volunteered for since forever. Good peeps.

Maybe we should revisit the number of pull-ups she can do? Or was that Epicski?

I'm the biggest fan ever, but there is no denying that her head is facked. And not in a good way. So sheltered, it's pretty predictable.

She's that good and she's human.

That was here. But it should have been on epicski.

Kelly Slater

Baywatch boy won so many titles because he was the biggest marketing force in surfing. If ski racing was a judged event the most popular skiers would win even more.
