How many skiing world cups are there? If something happens more than once a year I feel calling it a "world cup" is a little disingenuous.

I mean it is the pinnacle for her sport…it would be like if people said messi isn’t the GOAT because he hadn’t won a World Cup…which is exactly what people were saying before he won it

Dude, by the time Canada came around, the United States had already had it's Civil War, abolished slavery and had expanded out to California. You weren't even around to get involved in any of that.

You were settled by western Europeans, too. You'd have been right by our side if you didn't show up to the party so late. What Canada did to the First Nations was all it could do at that point in history. Given the chance, no doubt it would have been worse.

Russia invades another country and you called the negative sentiment propaganda. Absolutely brain dead take

Female? No. Just the best. Ever. At all. Of all time.

i cant even remember the last time they called a foul on the offense after running into someone on purpose

That's not the game we're playing. The game we're playing is "don't be a hypocrite". Canada is complicate in more of the US's foreign policy blunders than a lot of other countries.

Her skill is amazing, and her durability is unrivaled. It’s been a real gift to watch her over the past few years.

Good point lol

She has 2 gold medals. She's the youngest slalom olympic champion in history.

I don’t think the “who has the least guilt for international atrocity” fight is a fight an American is going to win against a Canadian.

Yea, the Olympics aren’t the pinnacle of most sporting events. This is akin to saying Pele sucks because he never won Olympic Gold.

Canada has had a few dark spots in its history. Of particular note is our history with the First Nations, as every country in the Americas treated indigenous people very poorly indeed.

Canada has certainly benefited from friendly relations with The United States and it’s my hope that both our countries continue to benefit from that relationship.

By and large, however, Canada has not been a terribly aggressive actor on the international stage. Certainly not compared to The United States’ history of overthrowing democracies that don’t toe their line or having inconvenient leaders killed. Or even the Canadian mistreatment of First Nations, as bad as it was, can not compare to the barbarity of the trail of tears and the American “Indian” Wars.

Messi in shambles

Speed 9 dunk 9 dude was mad OP

dont think any team thinks of the texans as their rival

I wonder if Russia has tried giving performance enhancing supplements to its military. It always helped their athletes, temporarily anyway.

Greatest Skier of all time male or female. Technically she is so gifted. Bode Miller has said she is the best technical skier (male or female) he has ever seen.
