I love all Lindsey has done over the years. Alas she is reaching the end of the line in racing.



And baron is going to get shanked in the yard.

[willywhit]

if you've ever had the crippling back pain, it makes ya wince. she's a tough chick

[telefreewasatch]

Stenmarck = 86 wins, Maier = 54, Tomba = 50, Hirscher = 47, Giardelli = 46, Zurbriggen = 40
Von = 77, Moser-Proll = 62 Schneider (my vote for all*time best female skier) = 55.

It is just that Lindsay has done it since 2001 (16 years). No one else has raced on the WC that long. I wouldn't want to be her when she is 50

That is a long time, but Mancuso who is the same age started racing world cup the year before LV. She was 15. No wonder they both are hurting, eh?

[wyeaster]

when she wrote facet dysfunction i wondered how much longer she can race if this is already a chronic problem (don't know, but by the time they are the reason you're underperforming, they're usually chronic). i've dealt with facet joint problems and arthritis for years and it is brutal and crippling. i can't imagine hurtling down a mountain at 60 knowing that could flare up at any moment.

Doesn't sound promising. She's old and she has been racing a long time. It's unfortunate that all the trauma she's subjected her body to seems to finally be culminating. I wouldn't be surprised if she injures herself out of the olympics at this point.

Statement by Lindsey today:
As I head to France for the next races, I would like to share with you my reflections from the past few days.
I've received a tremendous amount of feedback, both positive and negative, about my recent CNN interview. The point that I was trying to articulate is that all Olympic athletes represent their nation as a whole, and are not representatives of their government or any specific political figure or party. None of us work tirelessly for years on end to compete in the Olympics on behalf of Democrats or Republicans. The Olympics are a non-political event, a chance for everyone to put aside their differences and be on the same "team.". That does not mean that Olympic athletes don't have political opinions. As an American, I am extremely proud that our great nation was founded on principals and ideals where citizens can express our opinions openly. It is a privilege that some others around the world don't have.
I am proud to be an American, and I want our country to continue to be a symbol of hope, compassion, inclusion and world unity. My travels around the world have recently made clear that this is no longer how people view the United States. You cannot pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV in Europe without noticing how people are questioning our direction. It seems to me that we must lead with understanding and strive for unity in our relationships throughout the world.
As for myself, my recent comments opened up my eyes as to how divided we are right now. It is hurtful to read comments where people are hoping I break my neck or that God is punishing me for being "anti-Trump." We need to find a way to put aside our differences and find common ground in communicating. Is it wrong to hope for a better world?
All of this is much bigger than skiing and the Olympics. I am going to take the next two months to focus on what I can do and right now that is competing for my country. In doing that, I will be hoping that we Americans can still be that "shining city on a hill."

She must have a good writer on her staff.

Nice Reagan reference. Doubt the Trumptards will get it though.

What, you don't think she wrote that on her own? Your so negative.

[schindlerpiste]

It was a compliment. I think that she is busy enough, wealthy enough and public enough to have a P.R. person. I believe 100% that her sentiment is reflected in the words. It is when she is personally interviewed that she must rely upon her own words.

[Danno]

It was a compliment

I agree that it was well written. And I have no issues with her having someone write a statement for her, that's why you pay people like publicists. I'm sure she still read and approved it.

[sb]

She must have a good writer on her staff.

I thought the exact same thing.

[euanj]

yep, she's got a good publicist. Kudos to her.

[Eastern Sierra Skier]

yep, she's got a good publicist. Kudos to her.

No doubt. If she had had written that on her own I would think she had a future in politics as a speech writer.

Global warming is not a hoax

Interesting. That threw me and I had no idea who she was quoting. Brilliant.

Yesterday I heard Nikki Haley say that the United States has not yet made a decision on whether to boycott the Olympics in South Korea.

This is news to me. Why in the world would Trump want to boycott the Olympics ?

[plugboots]

They share a border with North Korea, and we may be getting a nuclear bomb lobbed at us. Sad!

it would be perfectly trump to take his ball and go home. it's all drama to him and he's the indispensible actor. fuck the lives of the athletes. minor roles.

p.s. fuck jimmy carter.
