Watching alpine skiing on German TV for a change and just like the last time I'm again wondering where the German commentator get the 'r' from in Vlhova's name ("vurrova" or something)

Second medal for Hector today?

Our guys are saying that Shiffrin is a totally different skier since her father passed away. He really meant a lot to her.

Think that’s true. Never so carefree again.

I doubt it though...it's not like she is skiing much differently usually. Also the rest is just getting better.

Cannot believe that Shiffrin is out again.  I was looking forward to Vlhova Shiffrin duel on slalom.

Shiffrin.... my oh my..... i thought summer olympics were rough for us, this will be even tougher.

 

I wonder if now she will try to go for the speed events, i know she did multiple super g's this season, i don't know if i saw her doing a downhill

Truppe DNF.

 

Maybe Nullmeyer can still have a great run given the pre-Olympics races.

Last time Slovakia ended the Olympics without medal was Salt Lake City 2002. 20 years ago.

Has any loose ski made it all the way down to the bottom yet, the Holy Grail for runaway skis.
