Olympics 2026- lets go!

[Bollocks]

Foolish, maybe. Brave? Absolutely.

Don't mistake foolishness, naivety or perhaps even narcissistic personality disorder with bravery.

She was brave to return to competitive skiing and achieving success. Bravery ended the moment the decision to compete at Olympics was made.

Let's not try to make her into an example that should be followed, allright?

You do you. I’ll do me.

My fiance tore her ACL completely a couple ski seasons back. It’s fine now after surgery but her surgeon told her she couldn’t injure it anymore prior to operation. It was completely torn. There was nothing to else to do to it. Another surgeon told her there are football players who play without ACLs.

The ACL provides stabilization when you pivot. You cannot ski moguls or off piste without it, but speed skiing is a different. There was an Austrian skiier in Men’s who was announced as not having an ACL since 2018.

Vonn came in third in the training session the day before.

Yes, an ACL is preferable, obviously. But anyone shaming Vonn for competing doesn’t know what they’re talking about. You can always get hurt in her sport. She wasn’t even the only skier to get airlifted that session.

Talk is cheap on the internet. Actual sports is not.
