15. She completed the training run in 3rd place

She was skiing well enough and the training runs they are going very close to all out. She doesn’t fall and I bet she medals.

She said it was rotting or twisting the knee that was hardest, especially when she landed after getting air. But she was skiing at a high level with the knee that bad, she just got off line and wasn’t able to recover.

Stinks, greatest woman skier ever and just snake bit at the Olympics.
