>Couple weeks later he texted me rematch.

It's time to make that happen.

As everyone else said, that’s really awesome

Shit, they’ve been so bad we forgot John Tortorella is their fifth coach under Fletcher

Idk, Hirscher is probably the goat. On eye test and how dominant he was.

Something I've never even heard of, unfortunately.

Specifically in skiing the crowning achievement is the crystal globe anw, not the Olympics.

I'm 100% OK with that.

None of them can pass a drug test anyway.

Thanks. His mom lives 10 minutes from my place so it’s not a long drive. He had his driver Huston there too. We fed him as well and he had only one beer.

We sat on the patio drink Coronas. Watching all the kids do flips off the diving board. All my friends didn’t believe me but I sent them a picture. And they all started showing up knocking on the door with beers. Got to hear lots of crazy stories playing against Jordan and what not.

I expected disagreement with people. This isn’t the first time I’ve posted this sentiment. I also expect the kind of undereducated response I got from you. Let’s go slow. What is the problem with my take? Give me your argument

Oh I’m not denying that, or saying racers can’t ski other terrain. I’ve been skiing since I was 2, grew up 15 minutes from Park City, had friends growing up that were professional skiers/boarders, worked in the industry for 15 years. I’m not trying to be uncle Rico saying I could throw a ball over them mountains. I would say I’m a very competent skier, and because of that I recognize how huge the gap is between what I can do versus a pro.

That doesn’t change the fact that some of the best big mountain skiers could be top competitors in racing if they tried, but doing what Candide does is in a different class. It takes a certain kind of person and skiing is so much more than gates, so I’m not knocking what they do, but race results only mean you’re the best racer.

I stand corrected thx

Which is in Sweden, where Ingemar Stenmark is from!

Dude that must’ve been a little nerve wracking at least to ask a former professional athlete to come have dinner and hangout. And if what his mom said is true, good on ya for doing so

Most world cup skiers are going to ski well on terrain that isn't just gates. I'm not talking tricks, but just terrain. There's probably some flat country slalom racers that this doesn't apply to, but racers at this level live on the snow and and good at far more than just skiing gates. Many are capable of laying waste to big mountain, in the off season.

What? She has two gold medals in the Olympics, won 10 World Championships, and the all time wins leader. She is amazing.

They are all Olympians but not current.
