What kind of a Canadian is this ignorant? Do you actually not know what is so significant about this? Or are you just going out of your way to be a loser because someone in elementary school said you were funny?

Please move out of the country so nobody has to associate themself with you. You’re an embarrassment to everyone around you.

Unfortunately I think she builds certain races up in her head and then it effects her performance. I actually think the Killington races demonstrate this the best. Despite having performed well there I’ve always felt her demeanor at the finish was that of relief and not excitement. I think she feels the pressure to perform for the home town crowd. I think the same thing happened with the Olympics. She felt the weight of the country on her shoulders. Her interviews after those races were uncomfortable to watch and I think the stress and anxiety just got the best of her that week. It was unfortunate but I don’t think it’s a stain on her career. Regardless of what records she breaks I’ve always felt she will be the best ski racer, woman or man, I’ll see in my lifetime.
