Well, Gut isn't coming back any time soon so Shiffrin is in. Don't know why the charts I looked at was nothing like this one, but so be it. Another win for Shiffrin.

NBC begins broad cast at 3 every week unless doing live coverage of other events. Check listings but also don't trust them. Remotes were invented for a reason, to allow a guy to flip channels and drive wives and girlfriends crazy. ;) OR, maybe in your case drive Husband crazy.

Spoiler alert.
That Bullwinkle sure is a hottie.

Congrats to Michaela who will has won the overall World Cup title even before Saturday's slalom in Aspen.

Ilka Stuhec from Slovenia has dropped out of the slalom and so will retain 2nd place

And Michaela's 22nd birthday is Monday!

This was supposed to be her development season: [excerpt from NY Times 3/17]

"This was supposed to be the winter when Shiffrin took baby steps into the exalted territory formerly occupied by Vonn, the four-time overall winner. Shiffrin was expected to gently test her versatility in the more speedy and dangerous events. Instead, she has crashed the party, winning three giant slaloms and one Alpine combined, in just the second time she had competed in that event.

Within the skiing community, it has been easy to see a more than symbolic passing of the torch. That is especially true in the United States since the dominant American ski stars of this century — Vonn, Ligety, Julia Mancuso and Bode Miller — have all been hobbled by serious, debilitating injuries this season."

A good article with some videos of Mikaela's 22nd b-day and her progression in the sport.

Fingers crossed she visits us again next season.

Vote for Mikaela for favorite female athlete.

Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, CO) had a ridiculous year—six slalom victories, three giant slalom wins and one alpine combined victory on the World Cup, her third straight World Championship slalom title, a silver in the World Champs giant slalom, her fourth career World Cup slalom title and her first-ever overall World Cup title. Wow.

And the ski racing industry isn’t the only one who noticed. Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards has nominated her for their Favorite Female Athlete award.

Shiffrin is up against USA Gymnastics’ Simone Biles, USA Swimming’s Katie Ledecky, US Soccer’s Alex Morgan, WNBA player Nneka Ogwumike of the Sparks, and tennis player Serena Williams.

Nickelodeon’s tagline for the award is: “They are, simply put, the best athletes of the year.” Help Shiffrin win the award for Favorite Female Athlete by voting here: http://vote.nick.com/#favorite-female-athlete Winners are announced on July 16 at 8 p.m. ET.

Hmmmm, that's a tough one - oh wait, I got to see Mikaela win - she got my vote

If I vote for her, will she come sign my program this Thanksgiving weekend?

Looks like Mikaela has some stiff slalom competition this year. Edged out of first place by Petra from Slovakia this weekend with the two of them over a second ahead of the rest of the field.

Petra Vihova has been making strides past 2 yrs, but this appears to be a leap. good, keep Shiffrin on her toes. that's some serious separation from the rest of the field for those two. As much as i enjoy watching Michaela win, i'd rather see her pushed in slalom.

It appears Shiffrin had a clean second run but Vlhova smoked her. Will be great to watch these two battle 10 days from now.
