Golf is not a real sport, it’s a waste of prime real estate that would be better used for shopping malls and condos with plenty of parking.Quote:

Also golf courses are a waste of perfectly good rifle ranges or sporting clays courses.
Whoda thunk that smoking 2 packs a day and drinking 14 diet Cokes a day isn't the proper way to keep an elite athlete in tip top shape. Oh and lots and lots of alcohol...Quote:

Shiffrin
Mikaela doing the speed events this weekend?
Sat., Jan. 14 Women’s DH — St. Anton Peacock 5 a.m.
Men’s DH — Wengen Skiandsnowboard.live 6:30 a.m.
Sun., Jan. 15 Men’s SL (Run 1) — Wengen Skiandsnowboard.live 4:15 a.m.
Women’s SG — St. Anton Peacock 5:30 a.m.
Men’s SL (Run 2) — Wengen Skiandsnowboard.live 7:15 a.m.
Times are ET.
You're going to cite a made for daytime Saturday TV NBC special as your proof that ski racers are elite athletes? News flash, ski racers are the spawn of rich people in Canada and Europe too. It's an elitist sport that very few people participate in. It's like dressage. And it's becoming less and less competitive as it is becoming more and more reserved for the ultra wealthy.Quote:

No, her next race isn't until Cortina, Italy, Jan. 20-22. And it's pissing rain in half of North America. Why do you think we are debating flaccid ski racers?Quote:

All is woe in Mudville.
This is the Shiffrin thread after all, altasnob could have at least respected the thread enough to use a picture of her man Kilde to make his point.

He looks pudgy.
Is this a callout for a cage fight match?Quote:

Some are questioning the strategy, but GOATs are going to do what GOATs want to do.
Wow, how many are going to be "watchable" in the US?
I've been watching a fair number of races via the streaming site (skiandsnowboard.live) and I've been pretty happy with the coverage. Comments aren't always perfect, but the video quality and replay choices have been good.Quote:

I was going to look up the standings at the end of this stretch to see how close she'd be to it, mathematically or practically. She keeps on a top 10 streak and picks up another W or two and it'll be tough for anyone else to take it.Quote:

Her haters said she would not be able to lock down another GS Globe and thus was slipping. The GS Globe is a three way race right now with Bassino and Gut-Behrami.
