Legendary skier Lindsey Vonn crashes while competing with torn ACL in women’s downhill and has surgery on left-leg fracture

Really selfish move by Vonn - she was airlifted off another mountain 9 days ago when she blew up her ACL. Then she decided to risk it, fucked it up and ruined the chances of all those following because it took so long to get her off the mountain the snow was softening in the sun and the slower they went

Winter Olympics

Actually in our timezone for a change.

Forget the events, one thing is brilliant - the camera work - they have Drones and the pictures they stream are (i believe the word is) sick

The Luge - astonishing flying
now the freestyle skiiing slopestyle jeez

Brit girl was awesome until she sat down so is now only in 8th. Best of 3 runs counts though
So 2 more goes at fvcking it up

I cannot find any of it on the TV in Africa anybody would think they have never seen snow and ice??

pretty sure I saw the nigerian team in the opening ceremony

you did indeed. There are African teams involved but nothing on the TV not even highlights that I can find anyway.

thats because they are so far behind the race leaders

In other news the medals are falling apart

If its anything like a Ford Cortina they will be rusty as fuck which is why they are falling apart.

She’s in 4th
Goes for a crazy new jump
Almost and falls
Comes 4th

It was closer than a gnat’s tit

Out of nowhere a Polish dude falls off a mountain better than anyone else.
The vountry goes mad

And then in the last second

A German wins by millimeters

Oh we’ve been there.

I must not laugh I must not laugh
Etc
I did ask wether the German could get a penalty

Nobody real ever talks to me.
I need my Temu type messages to prove I still exist

Might not have got a medal but she’s won the total respect of the snowboarding world for trying a trick that’s not been seen in competition before.

Oh mate.

Watching Klaebo literally run up a hill on skis in the cross country today was something else - he absolutely smashed the field in the final.

He is going for the most golds in a winter games ever - he has 7 (2 this time round) - 8 is the record
