That's her MO. She wins so many races on the bottom third of the course.

If she wants to. Hirscher also retired way before he dropped off.

>Damn, '08 was a simpler time.

You mean the global financial crisis year?

I seriously thought it said “Conor McGregor DIES Attacking Woman on Yacht”.

Thought, “figures.”

That guy is one sick lil puppy

Ostapenko is FAT.

I'll be extremely sad to find out her heart is not actually made of solid gold. Best skier, best person.

If Japan win their winter bid, they will have had two olympiads in 10 years (8 because of covid) but if SLC win that one, the US will have 2 in succession (2 years!)

It's such a shame some folks will only know her from the Olympics. I remember everyone in the lift line talking about her when she was still at Burke. If she can stay healthy she has plenty more seasons to dominate.

Goes by "Mackie," actually.

We are witnessing athletic greatness. She will have years to absolutely shatter the records books. As a slalom master she could potentially run podiums for another decade.

Wow!

It was kind of overshadowed since Putin literally delayed his invasion of Ukraine for it, so the news was sort of focused on the 150,000 Russian troops stationed at the Ukrainian border waiting for the green light.

They said they give each other tips all the time it's almost an unfair advantage

And she's still only 27!

I totally forgot there was an Olympics last year.

She’s a monster!!

She's worked incredibly hard for this. Keep it up kiddo

Yeah, the death of her father really effected her skiing for the previous couple years or so. It’s hard to quantify how important the mental aspect of skiing is.
