Yeah, what a great story, probably my favorite moment in olympic history.Ledecka. Wow. Love it
I think I need to see this"Reaction of Czech ice hockey players was also priceless:
"Do you know that Ledecká won gold?"
"No, but congratulations to her. It had to be hard for her, all that pressure. Everyone expected her to win."
"She won it in skiing."
"Skiing?"
"Skiing - super G."
"Are you f***ing kidding us?""
lol. That was spectacular.
What the hell was that by Vonn at the end of her training run. She probably would have been close to a win but she seemed to showboat or just do something odd
Stupid decision to move up the combined from Friday to Thursday due to weather. All the snow will fall middle of the night. They could have just left things as is. Many of the downhill participants not too happy right now. Shiffrin has pulled out but she wasn’t likely a medal threat anyway in the downhill
Pretty lousy starting slot for Vonn again. The good news is some of her strongest competitors also drew low spots. Downhill is almost always won by someone going 2-5 because speed is so important. I’m going with Goggia winning it and Vonn getting 2nd
I'm bummed (And part of this is just the US performance in general) but Shiffrin came to the olympics with a lot of promise and I feel like I've barely seen her ski. Her not doing well in the Slalom unfortunately might define these Olympics for her, and that was after winning the Giant Slalom gold.
Vonn with a great run. Looks like a person who knows its her last major event.
