no chance that usa gets anywhere near the medals in the team event, shiffrin is amazing but there really isn't anyone else, vonn is really a downhill skier and she is not in the shape she been few years ago before the injuries, and there is no one on the men's side (Ligety is too old by now, and was injured the whole season, dont think he will be near medals in the GS)

Being nitpicky here, but I'd go for small chance :d 

Especially in a parallel, short event like that there's always crazy stuff just waiting around the corner. A bit of luck and a good day and almost anyone has at least a bit of a medal chance. 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

So, is it still early to start putting Shifrin in the conversation for greatest ever or do we need to wait her to win fiftieth world cup race and her fourth Olympic gold medal?

 

it's a bit early, but definitely soon it 's gonna be the time to start talking about it...

 

however, she must get 62 world cup wins (and at least 113 podium finish), at least 6 overall world cup trophies, at least 10 discipline world cups and more than 12 medals (at least 6 of them being Gold) between World Champs and/or Olympic Games just to sit down at the same table of Annemarie Moser-Proll...:evil:

There is not and will not be 1 'best ever' :p 

 

It's as good as imposible to compare skiers (or athletes in general) in totally different time periods. Who knows, maybe without us actually seeing it, the general slalom talent at this moment is just absolutely awful, leading to someone with a decent level being able to dominate :p
