So glad she kept racing. Good for her!

This makes everyone forget about what the 49ers gave up for Trey Lance!

As a kid I was fascinated watching him dive. Really wanted to jump off the platform and I wanted to swim in that pool so bad. As a kid I was obsessed with how deep the water was and exploring

No, I was working at a ski resort when she came for some racing. I didn’t directly interact with her, but plenty of my coworkers did and said she was really rude. Had several people confirm it. This was like 4 years ago now tho

And all we heard last year was that the QB class was depressed and all teams should wait for Young, Stroud, and co. Weird how that works

>Also, why is it a bonus for Stenmark that he didn't compete in the speed events?

Because he had fewer events /tries to reach the same number of wins. As for Super G it didn't even exist until 1982 which was after Stenmarks prime. And parallel slalom, team events and combined weren't counted as WC wins back then but they are now etc. Another comparison is Stenmark has 155 podiums on 231 events and Mikaela has 135 podiums on 244 events.

But as you say Mikaela will probably win a lot more. Maybe even break 100 which would set her apart even from Stenmark.

Now THAT'S a great story. Glad to hear he's so cool. I've always liked him.

Also glad no charges filed against him.

As a Penguins fan it’d be terrible if they brought beloved son, Ron Hextall back from us as their new GM. I’d be so upset if they pulled that off.

Agree at this moment Mikaela and Stenmark are basically even. However, Mikaela is only 27 and she will almost certainly win many more races. Also, why is it a bonus for Stenmark that he didn't compete in the speed events? I would suggest that makes Mikaela even more impressive.

Gotcha. Idk why Lindsey Vonn is the one I remember. Maybe she was involved in more tabloids or something. Shaun White I remember as well.

Weird because i thought none of the QBs in this years draft were considered sure fire future stars.

>The only comparison we can make is relative to their peers and by that metric Mikaela is the GOAT.

That would be GOAT together with Stenmark then... He still has as many wins and was arguably even more dominant in his time since he only competed in S and GS meaning he needed fewer events to reach his 86 wins. they even changed the rules because of him since he won the overall cup 3 years in a row despite not competeing in SG and DH...
