Women's downhill training

so far it's more interesting than the "big" air and halfpipe events going on at least

Why don't they wear shit like this so they're more aerodynamic?

kind of comfy having no commentary during these runs

Mikaela has nearly non-existent chance of medaling. what's the point in watching?

>wanting to win FIVE gold

>cameraman zooms in on the racer's ass and they quickly cut to a different cam

that is a latex gimp suit

>winning 1 medal

Because they have to turn

what's the difference between this and giant slalom, super g etc?

anyone else call slalom events "shalom"?

Downhill = 95% speed 5% technical ability (no hard turns)
Super G = 70% speed 30 technical ability (some hard turns)
Giant Slalom = 40% speed 60% technical ability lots of hard turns)
Slalom = 10% speed, 90% technical ability (all hard turns)

thanks

Giant Slalom > Downhill > Slalom > Super G

they should get rid of the Super G desu

longer course and greater distance between gates.

oh shit.....

bumpy ride in the beginning

Man, the super G is the basics of skiing. I admit the differences may look blurry between the competitions but if one must be removed it should be the giant.

I don't care how many black guys have jizzed in it I want to lick Lindsey Vonn's asshole.

Wow Lindsay is an arrogant cunt

I thought this was common knowledge

absolutely based

Every time she speaks on French tv she's pretty modest and kind.

everyone is modest and kind compared to the french

that's a speed-skier - they don't turn

and NOT in the pool, where competition is structured so that a single athlete can win a lot of medals, as so many have

>Downhill = 95% speed 5% technical ability (no hard turns)
this is the stupidest shit I've ever read
you've obviously never skied downhill in your life, asshat

*gives reddit gold*

wow we must sound super duper harsh

Wow, you must be such an expert skier to have such an informed opinion on the matter. Why aren't you in Pyeongchang at the moment?

Her and Mikaela sounded like cunts during their BBC interviews. The British athletes seem much more laid-back and friendly towards one another in comparison.

They also suck balls at skiing

Maybe she adjusts her tone given the media nationality, but after the super G she was just "that's life, it's ok", and even during the last olympics she was like that no matter if she wins or not.
