The current group of women downhill racers, especially the Italians, is formidable. The fact that she can win against those women in an event that is anything but her best is remarkable. What a phenom!

I have always appreciated the passion you have shown for MS’s accomplishments, but the way you worded the subject line, for an instant there I thought you were telling us she had died. #subjectlinesmatter

Love this quote:

“This season I really want to move it forward,” he said. “I want to move it forward to Bormio, to Wengen, to Kitzbühel, to Chamonix, and just really have competitive runs all season long.
