A bit of luck and a good day and almost anyone has at least a bit of a medal chance.

dcro 10,179 Posted January 9, 2018 #442 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yeah, don't forget that skier defeated Hirsher in the parallel event! It's a wild card event. Spoiler I guess we should stop acting all shocked about Belgian winter sports successes. heywoodu 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,156 Posted January 10, 2018 #444 Share Posted January 10, 2018 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?

heywoodu 13,540 Posted January 10, 2018 #446 Share Posted January 10, 2018 There is not and will not be 1 'best ever' 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 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!
