    Not a bad return...

    Too bad she is going to run out of events before she can retake the lead in the slalom standings.

    she's not even 21 but already is #2 in total wins for a US women, wow. And the fact that she's not even 21 makes me feel dirty.

    She is so, so good. Smokes the field in her first race back. Unreal.

    Caught her second run on tv yesterday and the announcer said it perfectly. "It looks like she's running a different course than the other racers"...or something like that...but it was so true. This girl is unreal.

    Mikaela completed the season with only 5 Slalom races. However, her pure dominance was incredible.
    She won every slalom she entered by an average margin of 2.11 seconds! The closest being Crans Montana (.45 seconds) that looks to have been a relatively easy course since everyone was pretty fast (see margin from second to 3rd).
    The average margin between 2nd and 3rd is 1/9 of her winning margin. That is ridiculous.

    “When I ski, it’s like a song. I can hear the rhythm in my head, and when I start to ski that rhythm and I start to really link my turns together, all of a sudden there’s so much flow and power that I just can’t help but feel amazing.”
    —Mikaela Shiffrin

    I can imagine she heard the rhythm in her head during these runs...pure pendulum perfection...wow.
    Just amazing to watch that level of flowing dynamic balance on the feet.
    Poetry in stance angles.

    The guy who does the announcing for the local races at my local hill, (Loup Loup), for the eight-year-olds announces better than that guy.

    Here is her GS win from yesterday with a .73 margin over 2nd place Stiegler.

    Flashback to her first world slalom cup podium when she was only 16 years old. Goosebumps.
