Hope she sees this bro

Not impressed but could have been worse

Totally agree, Watching her interview after Combined last night I was definitely impressed by her composure. Not many people would be able to handle themselves after crashing with so much pressure on them.

Mikaela is the fuckin goat and she will be back in 4 years to snag some more medals

I agree with you, but you can fuck outta here with that 'Simone Biles quit on her country' bs

congrats OP

dunno about the whole simone quitting thing.. but the rest hits hard

Simone didn’t quit on shit, but it was wack how the media manufactured it into some “mental health crisis” when it was actually just vertigo from gymnastics.

I dunno how much thruth is here, but I heard somewhere that after shiffrins first two DNFs biles reached out to her and the "advice" she gave shiffrin was to basically back out from the rest of competition like biles did. Shiffrin pretty much laughed it off and hung up. I'm with OP on the biles quitting thing, lame move. Shiffrin could have easily manufactured some sort of "mental health crisis" but instead just sucked it up and went for it like somebody with backbone. Even bigger fan of shiffrin after these games than I was before.

Maybe it's worth noting that Biles is much younger and possibly less mature? Shiffrin also has been in the world's eyes for longer and probably better knows how to publically act. Idk

Honestly though if you have the mental strength to get to the Olympics you 100% have the strength to get through whatever is going on, it meant too much to mikaela to pull a biles, who had already won so much that it was no big deal

What Simone Biles was going thru was very much a legitimate medical issue that affects tons of gymnasts and aerialists. I agree that it sucks the media turned it into a 'mental health' narrative, but Simone literally had interviews after the Olympics where she said "I knew what I was doing was super dangerous, and I probably shouldn't have gone at all, but wanted to represent my country and make my friends/family/team/coaches proud"

Both of these girls have handled more pressure than any of us will ever fucking know. I guess that doesn't fit the narrative of Simone being a lazy quitter tho.

Yeah I’m not saying what she actually did was bad, but the news twisted it so much I had no idea what actually happened until not too long ago

I think she got hexed by a Norwegian or something

GrandThingsI agree with you, but you can fuck outta here with that 'Simone Biles quit on her country' bs

Thats exactly what she did though

"quit on her country"

LOL you fucking nationalist assholes can fuck off with that shit.

i think the whole "weight of their entire nation weighing on their shoulders" narrative is a bit blown out of proportion nowadays lol

Classy people have class

Ur a little late for Valentine’s Day homie

We should all be so lucky.

WoFlowzUr a little late for Valentine’s Day homie

coskiier1024Thats exactly what she did though

She committed treason. You can't just go to the Olympics and drop out, that's like fleeing the draft so you don't have to fight in Vietnam.

tf treason, you chafe bad

Im still waiting for her to respond to my challenge down Lodgepole on my 4FRNTs. Imma put bus lengths on her

skierman"quit on her country"

LOL you fucking nationalist assholes can fuck off with that shit.

lol at nationalist being an insult

what does that even have to do with the simone biles thing anyway?

LOL at you thinking its a compliment. Fucking gapers who care more about which country an athlete represents than the athlete themselves. I bet you're the kind of jackass that purchases ball sports team merchandise and when that team wins you proclaim, "WE WON!" like you had anything to do with it. Fucking pathetic.

You should be a traveling missionary.

actually though my dad (doesn’t follow skiing) got mad at me when I said I wanted henrik to win big air over a hall

it's an age thing for sure....dks about the judging, but HH was a hoot, even so, go usa

Why the fuck did this turn into a Simone Biles hate thread? The issue she had is super common with gymnasts and really not a big deal. She was getting corked when gymnastics flips and spins are obviously on axis. Y’all are retarded to think Simone was a “quitter” or whatever

I mean this is like Tiger Woods in his prime missing the cut at the masters or Nadal losing in the 1st round she wasn't close on anything.

Not sure what shes supposed to say though.

If she was ahead of Vonn at the same stage in their careers before the Olympics she might not be anymore.

Has Vlhova taken the crown from her permanently as best at Slalom? They are the same age. Shiffren isn't interested really in Super G or Downhill.

i do the opposite of that you fucking midwit
