Thx for posting.
This caught my eye:
"Not only is Shiffrin the first alpine skier, male or female, to win a specific event at four successive world championships, but she also became just the second woman to claim a world championships medal in the super-G, giant slalom and slalom in one year, after Mateja Svet in 1987 (giant slalom silver, super-G bronze, slalom bronze)."

And this: She's still only 23 years old.

She *could* have a bright future ahead of her ... !

And she was sick as a dog.
Olde Coach would have been so proud.
(both mentioned in a recent NY Times piece about
Burke Mt Academy).

Given her illness and her second start from behind, this was a truly AWESOME performance. Definitely worthy of a best athletic accomplishment of the year award. No matter the sport!
WOW!
