moaning about someone ruining their Olympic chances at 42yo only proves it is not a sport
it's a pastime for rich people, like golf. Don't go saying golf is a sport. It's a game, like billiards or checkers

Sounds like you have never watched downhill skiing.
Not to be confused with normal people skiing downhill.

You’re petty; they’re bourgeois.

Distance running is a "sport" whose participation is solely by people not good at sports.

Skiing is not expensive like golf

Don't listen to sounds from inside your own head, you'll go nuts
If nobody in the whole world can beat the 42 year old, it's not an athletic sport. Irrefutable.

Every village kid is learning to ski where I grew up, alpine skiing is our national sport. Does Bekele’s running world class times at 42 make marathon a petit bourgeois game?
I agree with you about golf being a rich people pastime.

i swear to God it sounds like they’re snoring.
"Where is Vonn? Where is Vonn? OOOHHHH! VONN IS IN THE NETTING!!! Oh, my goodness me!"
Bummer to fall like that at such velocity and sliding on her back with both skiis flat on the snow. Its a very tough position to bail out of. I think she's lucky not to have strained both knees. (experienced downhill racer here)

Meb and Abdi both made Olympic teams in their 40s. Tom Brady won Super Bowls. But I guess those were not real sports.

Lindsey Vonn injured in World Cup crash, says Olympic dream ‘is not over’ - The Athletic
World Cup matters a lot to skiers.
Also, I believe that when a skier is going good, they aren't going to skip a weekend because they are afraid to lose the feel as a result.
This is of course a double-edged sword because they are never more than a moment away from a crash no matter how well they are skiing.
