Ola posted:Whew, a relief that ultra favorite Shiffrin got that gold. Pretty amazing for us Norwegians as well. We have won a lot in alpine, but that was the first women's olympic alpine medal since 1936 and the first downhill gold ever. I remember when Aksel used to tease him about staying up late playing World of Warcraft before races

From what I've heard the US ski team doesn't have a ton of funding really, at least thats what they say when they are always begging me to donate. I think it's pretty bare bones. They'll pay for them to go to Chile and NZ in the summer to train but it doesn't really get results. We have a lot of athletes who hang around for years finishing in the 20s and never really improving. I wish they'd spend it at the youth level. The real problem both nations have is a lack of structure getting young kids racing. It's basically a miracle we can ever compete with the swiss and austrians since our talent pool is so much smaller, basically kids from wealthy families willing to send them to ski academies etc. My state had ski racing at the high school level but the level of competition and coaching we had was pretty poor.

I think another thing is skiing has to compete with hockey up there, I go up to Fernie every winter and the local rink is busy 24/7 it seems like

Slalom looks so much more impressive when filmed from behind like this. I wish they could get some kind of setup to shoot races this way, I think they were doing it for FIS races for a while at least because I remember a camera almost hitting a racer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRA-XB0nuyo

Somehow people always get devastating injuries in the team event, lets hope there aren't any this time
