I hope not. When you are one of the best in the world and fake or dramatize a serious injury so you can catch your opponents off guard ... well that's a great way to end up on everybody's shitlist and is probably bad karma as well.

Sucks - as much as I hate to see those pesky Americans win at international events, I was really looking forward to seeing the top female skier tear shit up over the next 2 weeks.
Hope she pulls it together and this is just overblown media hype.

Nothing a fistfull of advil shouldn't fix. Wonder if she's ever lost a toe nail from landing back on a booter? Just for shits and giggles, does anyone know what boot she skis?

ahhh poor baby...trying her boot on in the hotel room today caused her excruciating pain. Bet there's a miraculous recovery. I hope Emily Brydon & crew kick ass Canadian style on their home turf.

Lindsey Vonn will rock it. We will know for sure after today's training run.
As for the men, my money is on Andrew Weibrecht for the biggest surprise. That kid goes balls out in regular world cup DH's - for the Olympics, he's gonna let it all hang out. You heard it here first...

I saw Lindsey walk to the lift in ski boots not too long ago and she seemed just fine. Looks like a classic sand bag drama.

Plus his GF is the new Lange girl...gotta work to keep her around I suppose.
As for Vonn...I know deep muscle bruises are really really painful but I have to imagine that some "shot" can be located to help with the pain/tenderness and swelling. Call some NFL team and ask.

MSNBC is following this very closely today. I have not checked other sources, but according to a talking head they will be going to give a live update when she makes her training run.

Here's pulling for both Rahlves and Vonn to fight through it and show off their competitive spirit. VIBES.

For the umpteenth time, anti-doping regs ban the use of cortisone and other numbing shots. Originally Posted by lionelhutz

I guess Olyimpic gold means $$
But she has an almost certain lock on World Cup this year. Not sure it would be worth it to fuck that up ?

She's locked up SG already but by no means has she got a lock on the overall. Originally Posted by MTT
