Congrats Slovakia (& Austria and Switzerland). So happy for all three medalists. So sorry for Lena, Sara, Andreja and Michelle though... But I'm sure they'll get plenty of chances to win medals in the near future, especially the younger ones. And oc Sara and Michelle are already Olympic gold medalists. hckošice and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say, an alpine skier who is in gold medal position and then goes down after 5 seconds in the deciding run. Or a tennis player on match point who smashes it in the net and then gets his serve broken and loses the match. Those kind of things Not even Shiffrin really choked actually, since she didn't actually have anything in hand yet. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things haven't really gone Alex's way either in these Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,600 Posted February 9, 2022 #606 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Let's be real, Lena Duerr winning this would be hilarious. We haven't had a "shocking" gold medal winner in alpine skiing yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am completely speechless and actually also hurt (I hit my hand hard against the wall while jumping like moron) but this was my biggest secret dream (actually not only mine, the whole country) So happy for Petra she had so enormous pressure now I can absolutely understand she can not stop the tears, I do believe she is not the sole in Slovakia now.

Swewi 300 Posted February 9, 2022 #610 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Well deserved for Petra but why Did Sara need to make her only DNF of the season When she performs her best slalom of her life. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
