Watched the second round on the Olympic Channel last night. While Shiffren is obviously the big story, announcers really need to spend more effort talking about the individual racers on the course rather than mentioning Shiffren in every other sentence. It becomes as annoying after a while as ESPN focusing on Lebron to the exclusion of almost everyone else in the NBA.

Another article on Mikaela
Same article I posted above.
Yours did not open right on my PC, so I thought mine was different as its from a different source. SFgate vs Wapo. Better to have it twice than not at all! :banana:

Petra Vlhova finally takes one from MS.

And Paula Moltzan (who is a U. of Vermont student) has the run of her life in the second run, actually beating Mikaela's time in that run by 0.1 sec! Understand she is now heading back to school (and the UVM ski team).

Another win for MS. This time in a GS. Spectacular first run. It was all but over at that point.

And now she adds another Super G win to her record season.

She currently leads in the overall World Cup plus SL, GS and SG. I am in total awe.

I sort of like the drama of a tie before worlds:

Here's another story about the tie of Shiffren and Vlhova in today's GS. Mistake in second run cost her the solo win. Hope the "issue" they are talking about is not serious. SL tomorrow should tell the story.

Mikaela Shiffrin has done a Super Bowl commercial for VTel so make sure to pay attention to the ads.

Well it looks like whatever the issue is that MS has been dealing with, it hasn't affected her SL skiing.

World Championships now on in Are. SG just finished. LV fell and a DNF. I will be shocked if she skis the DH. Top four finishers within less than 0.1 second. Only one guess who was on top.
