And she does it all on rutted water injected ice!  Just watch watched it, better than Tomba, better than JCK, better than Phil or Steve no one will ever show her level of talent combined with focus, consistency and intensity again.

Mikaela is without a doubt the GOAT of slalom skiing . She has more wins than any man or woman .......... ever ! Think about that . Damn impressive and she may not be done yet . Not sure if retirement is in her plans to maybe start a family ? The announcers said when she leads after the first run she wins 80 % of the time ! A skiing machine when she is on and a pleasure to watch .

Our Gorgeous Zoi Sadowski has now won more medals than any other female snowboarder. Japan won but Zoi is the best looking and we all know that's more important.

Michaela is an incredible athlete, no doubt but she isn’t perfect, her GS and combined results at this olympics are testament to this.
I love watching her ski, and she’s a powerhouse. It seems that when she is on, she is on fire! I’m so happy for her that she got the gold - she deserves it especially after walking away from the last 2 olympics (and the combined and GS events this olympics) empty handed. I’m happy for Kiki’s result given that her old coach is currently coaching my daughter. It’s inspiring to see these young athletes on the world stage.

Sweden / USA game was worth every minute to watch. Both teams played gold medal hockey and you could say they played with excellence to win the quarter final.

Pretty much a battle of the goalies.
Tomorrows game for women's gold should be a real ding dong! Please no spoilers as I must watch the replay.

I wonder if Trawna Leaf Nation have now forgiven Mitch.

Im a huge slalom guy, it's my go to when there's no powder, if i didn't have a lower back injury id run masters... its what I've loved since I was a teen....
Anyway, today's course was set by a certified sadistic sicko! Super turny then he jammed into an insane off rhythm flush on an injected course. And that was before the fresh fall... entertaining, sure but pretty demoralizing for the competitors.

was it always like this even in the 70s? I thought I remembered a snow covered jump without tracks. Would prefer that honestly.
