Much better frame of mind this year. Last Olympics she was still recovering from the shock death of her father which caused her to almost quit. I also think pressure by NBC for her to be the next Olympic “Golden Girl” caused her to stretch herself way too thin. She puts a ton of pressure on herself, so more pressure is not helpful.
Anyway, she’s scaling back her schedule this time and focusing on her best events. Still the Olympics can be a crap shoot, but at least they’re at a classic venue so less chance of a fluke winner

If it’s not Mikeala it’s Lindsay. In soft and slower conditions where the hard pack might only be 3 feet wide, Lindsay set the pace from the 5th starter and won again, by .37. The 3rd section of 4 she gained speed where no one else could and that was it.
today wasn’t break neck speed but put on display how good she is.
Mikaela is not aiming for downhill at the Olympics and thus not racing any WC DH events this year. She will do Super G but not going tomorrow and still on track for 4 events at the Olympics.
