South Africa was banned from the Olympics during apartheid

And she'll get to 1oo easily

What? What kind of state do you live in where if someone is shooting at you that you can't defend yourself? I think you're on crack or something

Bode Miller

Agreed ehh!

Never know in today’s society, I’ve been told there are no significant biological differences on reddit before.

Names that ring a bell to me but that don't just come to mind when considering the topic. I remember them enough to know, well believe, it was actually Kristi Yamaguchi. Anyway, I made another comment down below about the topic. It's not meant in a disrespectful manner towards her just speaking to my take on the situation as a whole.

I didn't include hockey. I understand that it's on ice but I don't necessarily consider it a winter sport specifically. I also just mean to American's in general.

The reason I clicked here is because there was some sort of debate about sports on another platform and someone said something about Mikaela being the most dominant person in their sport ever. I had never even heard the name Mikaela and still had no clue who they were talking about. Not one other person had a clue who she was either.

I just don't think skiing is really that popular of a sport in the US. It's something I love to do (well, snowboarding) but I don't really catch myself watching it as a sport.

:(

Apollo Anton Ohno, Picabo Street, Kristi Yamaguchi, Nancy Kerrigan

What the actual fuck lol. You people are so propagandized it's ridiculous

Jean Claude Killy, Eric Heiden, Bonnie Blair, Peggy Fleming, stenmark… Gretzky… maybe I am just sports junkie

Basically every country does/did this

What relevance does this have to this story?

I think just because it's not necessarily a popular sport. Very rarely have winter sport athletes ever received much publicity. Lindsey Vonn is legitimately the only other strictly winter sport athlete I can name. I remember watching the Olympics and thinking a handful of others were cool in the moment but not enough to remember them.

I just remembered Shaun White as I was about to post.

You need to work on reading comprehension.

Her father also died during this time period. This would mess with someone's head

Oh yeah, very much so! The best skier of all time

Totally, I’m Austrian and was hyping for Anna fenninger. But she was always an awesome fight

Cool. So yea she has been dominant for years and also for the entire time, not just at one particular event or time of year. Sweet
