“world cup victory”, which is per race. This would be analogous to how many matches a country has won in FIFA World Cup.

“world cup title” is per category per year. (she has 15 world cup titles).

Greatest ski racer in human history, period.

Greatest Skier of all Time!

This is more like Nascar. She's won "86 races" and the races per season count towards the year's Nascar Cup series championship. It would be wrong to say Jimmie Johnson won 80 Nascar cup series championships. He won 80 races and 7 championships. She won 86 events in the World Cup. But she only actually has like 5 World cups.

So... "Best ever, at all, of all time, period, but goes without saying she'd be competitive against men"?

It‘s the world cup circuit. Compare it to formula one, where there‘s multiple races across one world cup season. Google FIS Alpine Skiih World Cup.

Because it is, it’s getting you to turn on the Russian people when they aren’t the problem it’s Putin and the oligarchs who enable him, turn on your brain and think for a few moments

Yea I’m down

Depends on the discipline.

Olympics are definitely big and beijing was fine regarding the conditions. But overall globes are definitely valued the highes in skiing.

Like a Boss.

Tell me you don‘t know anything about skiing without telling me you don‘t know anything about skiing 😂

From what I heard him say in that rant, and how calm he was, I'd say the fine was worth it.

I like to watch it on my couch at home, which makes the beer thing a lot more enjoyable, too.

Yes, that would be true. But the comment I replied to specifically mentioned Canadian, so I specifically mentioned Canadians.

I’m sure your country is great at hockey, but wasn’t mentioned in the original comment.

The only reason the Korean War was undertaken by the UN and not Vietnam is because during Korea, the USSR was boycotting the UN for recognizing Taiwan as the true China immediately after the communist government took over and didn't have veto power in the Security Council. They were an active member of the security council during Vietnam and would have vetoed any resolution that didn't support the Viet Minh.

If that's literally your only reason, I think you might want to look back and re-examine that "international consensus"

Comments in r/sports often make make me question my fandom sometimes.

This seems like an obvious call to me. I'd feel for the athletes that don't support the war, but if you are having a giant get-together of the world's best athletes, seems like the bare minimum requirement for a country to get in, don't currently be murdering innocent people in a baseless, unprovoked war.

If you want to include the US if they are ever doing that (or any other country) cool. Yes it's mostly a symbolic gesture, but, you know, that's actually important too.

The Korean War was undertaken by the United Nations. There WAS an international consensus there.

That may be your perspective on the Canadian attitude to its history but I’m here to tell you that my teachers as a kid couldn’t shut up about Cartier, Champlain and Cabot. They would go on and on about McKenzie and Hudson and the Hudson’s bay company. To their credit, I learned from fairly early on about smallpox blankets and residential schools.
