Wow, apparently they are still running with her sitting there.


Crashes to the barrier are pretty rare in slalom.

OK, I get she needs to cope with this, but they need to get her off the course. I feel bad for her, but this isn't a good look.

Give her the chance to process this. Get it out her system.

Three more events to go. Suck it up.

Kinda like the football player who hangs out in the field .. or the basketball player on the court .. after a loss.

I don’t know. I kind of like seeing an athlete really care about the result.

A more accurate analogy is a kicker who misses a field goal in the third quarter and just sits on the left hash to commiserate.

I'm sure the rest of the competitors love having her as a distraction with her coach sitting there on the course.

Like I said, I get it. This is a huge deal and something she's going have to work through, but get off the fricking course and out of the public eye to process it. She looks like a pouty child sitting there. She may not be ready to move on, I know I wouldn't be, but you have to MOVE

You watch the victor/s celebrate and then use as fuel for your workouts later

Especially the top of the course just a few yards from the starting gate.

Fake crappy Chinese snow and abnormal tracks. It's like skiing a clown course.


Others don't seem to be having a problem with it

Ahh, wrong. Have you been watching the alpine events? It's been a clown show.

Like I said, not a coincidence the two skiers that have dominated slalom fell flat tonight.
