Sorry, missed this.

Sorry, missed this.

I’m getting YouTube alerts now so it popped up immediately. Amazing run - vintage Shiffrin from the halfway point. Hopefully those missed technical races due to Covid don’t handicap her overall chances - I’m not sure what the ratio of speed to technical races is left going forward, but Goggia is lurking

Yes it was. Remarkable that she is winning downhills.

It's good to see her bounce back after her personal debacle at the Olympics. The sign of a true champion.

She is one of the most open athletes out there. Really bares her soul - and not just when she doesn’t do well.

Yes I was super impressed how she handled the obvious disappointments during the Olympics. Good for her.

Refreshing contrast from the Biles drama. That got old very fast

Great she overcame her Olympic disappointments. That can wreck some athletes.
