I didn't know if it was the case to post it here or in the Hockey thread...

 

so, to keep it safe, I'm gonna do some cross-posting...

Those two are honestly so cute together.

 

This video from when Vonn retired always makes me giggle:

The cooperation between Petra Vlhova and her Italian coach Livio Magoni will continue for two more years until the 2021/22 seasons end. Both parties agreed on a contract and cooperation that is focused and will have to culminate in the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022.

 

They met today (on Monday) to debate about the future, Petra was represented by her Father Igor and Brother Boris. After one and a half hours, they agreed to continue.

by the way, Shiffrin is officially not competing in Crans Montana this week and will also miss next weekend's races in La Thuile (ITA)...at least...

No surprise here, I said Ofterschwang is the place where she could come back. If she misses that then she's given up on the season alltogether IMO.

Which would honestly be okay. Her father was everything to her, and I don’t want her racing until her mind is back on racing.

As is often the case though, there are these sponsors and other crap to consider. It's not like USA has another global alpine skiing star now that Vonn has retired.
