Ok, so are you a Shiffrin stalker? Are you allowed within 100 yards of her or her home?😉

Just teasing. She is truly amazing. Breaking all these records at such a young age. By the time she is down her record will be like Bob Beamon’s jump. Untouchable.

NBC today had a one hour special on her career. Alas, I just caught the last day of racing. Which was damn good.

She won that record race by almost a full sec(.95), a big margin in skiing. She didn’t play it safe but attacked the entire run. Announcer said ‘The glaciers will be gone before her record is challenged.’ Another said that Ingemar Stenmark only won a a race or two a year to set the record at the end of his career while she is young, healthy, and should win many more.

The show will likely be on the NBC Sports website if anyone is interested.

I’ll watch it if it’s there. Did they mention she also won in every discipline? That’s nearly ridiculous. Most, including Stenmark could not.
