I hope she can stay on top long enough to shine at the next Olympics to shut up the idiots. To all the overweight, type 2 diabetic couch dwellers saying she "chokes in the biggest moments," World Championships are just as impressive as Olympic Medals. You're still literally beating the best athletes in the world (hence the name, World Championship). Having her one off year the same year as the Olympic Games was just bad luck. She was dominant before and she's been dominant since.

She's a 7 time world champion and 2 time olympic champion. She doesn't have to prove anything to anyone and all those fuckers can stfu.

Well thankfully the next Winter Olympics is in a place that actually has real snow. It clearly affected her skiing along with a bunch of other world class skiers. Just sad that it had to be in the event that most of the world tunes in for bringing out the neckbeards and their sage opinions (not a knock on world cups, but obviously not as watched as the Olympics)

That‘s still just wrong. I think it was a travesty, that Beijing of all places hosted winter olympics. But the conditions on those slopes were perfect. The slopes the pros ski on are all made with lots of „artificial“ snow. If anything, the snow was quite aggressive, as it often is in Colorado, where Shiffrin is from.

The slopes in Cortina 2026 will be made with man made snow as well.
