Just finished reading the article in the magazine. She is certainly a special person/athlete. I wish her great success in the Olympics.

Looking forward to seeing how she does in the olympics, especially with Vonn competing as well.

Yes really. I don't think anyone is going to put her in a beautiful category.

Why not??? I personally think she is very attractive. But that has nothing to do with why I like her a s a skier. I honestly think the article is trying to convey how fit she is, not how attractive she is. The other point of the article is how damn hard she works. She doesn't just rely on her incredible talent, but also works harder than everyone else on the circuit. That way she can race at 90% and still win, instead of racing at 105% and risking major mistakes or crashes.

See, I've never seen or heard of her. I wouldn't know what she looked like. But the first paragraph made her sound pretty hardcore for her training. Then the second went into her looks and made me think she's hot(still hadn't seen the pics yet). Or as the writer put a blonde tanned ski goddess. Honestly, that part made me think totally different about her. Not sure if the writer was trying to do both- make her hardcore and a "goddess". It was a great read but that second paragraph, kind of off-putting.

Personally, like I said, I could care less. I don't know who she is. Never seen or heard of her before. If the writer had just said ski goddess, VS blonde tanned ski goddess, I wouldn't be making my comment. And if you read what I said before Mark, you'll see that I was commenting on the negative writing and how it sexualized her. Should've read back a page and saw what I wrote before jumping on me that I only value women for their looks. |

I hope Vonn breaks the record, too. Speaking of hard workouts, I can’t imagine what Vonn’s rehab has been after some of the terrible injuries that she’s endured and yet climbed back to one of the top skiers. I read that Vonn wants to compete against the men in downhill. Supposedly, her training run times have been competitive. She is strong, enough that she uses men’s ski models to race on. Shiffrin may want to think about speed events and career longevity (due to injuries). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For fun, google some of the you tube videos of Lindsey Vonn and Mikela Schiffren working out. We're talking some serious toughness, agility and strength...
