Apparently she was in her best form ever. Too bad, these Olympics where probably going to be her best shot at ever getting a medal.

Off-topic: First things first! Thanks for uploading all the higlights (also in other sports), i gave you a like not for this special comment, but for your work in general. For me you are probably the user of the year already.

On-topic: Amazing day for Germany, Rebensburg's second place probably was just a fluke, as was Shiffrin's victory (who, according to herself, was the only athlete who had clear sight and therefore was pretty lucky), because this wasn't a typical downhill and Lake Louise in general isn't very representative. I don't see Shiffrin regularly finishing on the podium in the speed disciplines and i am not sure whether she should compete in those events at the olympics, although the schedule would allow it (giant slalom and slalom will be contested first). Seeing her recent results, the combine should be her best chance for gold, closely followed by the slalom. Dreßen's 3rd place was the best result for Germany in men's downhill in 13 years! Finally Germany seems to be able to compete in men's downhill/super-G. On the women's side we saw an amazing 8th place for young Kira Weidle who qualified for the olympics with this result. Her 8th place and the 7th place for Ledecka are other sings that this wasn't a typical downhill. I think at the olympics things will look very differently, with Gut and Fenninger hopefully back in top shape.
