That is the biggest upset in the history of Olympic alpine skiing

 

Maybe, but probably not bigger than Francisco Fernandez Ochoa.

Even in that race that wasn't the biggest upset for me  I mean, it's slalom, a mistake is so easily made that there's nobody, no matter how much they're dominating, who has like 95% chance to win gold  (and no way Ledecka had more than 5% chance today, realistically speaking  )

 

'Surprise' and 'upset' are two different things

Best result ever. And best reaction ever after she crossed the finished line.

wow, sth kept me from switching to figure skating - her body language in the start gate, curiosity? No idea.

 

The story of the Games! Even she didn`t believe this!

Same here, but freestyle instead of figure skating. I told to myself "ok, Ledecka and the Americans and then I can peacefully switch to freestyle"

At least he was an alpine skier by trade!

 

I believe only before the WWII we've had other event athletes who competed in the alpine skiing.

One of the most beautiful Olympics stories since Majdič's bronze in Vancouver for sure, especially if she medals in her main discipline
