56 days till the start of the next Winter Olympics but with the world cup season in full swing we're starting to see some early favorites.

Somehow, Lindsey Vonn is one of them. She returned to the sport after more than five years last winter with the Olympics in mind.
At age 40 and with a long history of injuries, literally everyone thought this was a terrible idea.

Today, she won her 83rd World Cup race, her first win since March 2018 and became the oldest winner in the women's world cup by a wide margin. The gap to 2nd in today's downhill was almost a full second.
I'm still kinda in disbelief about today's result. Looking forward to the rest of the season and especially to the Olympics.

Lindsey Vonn is a legend. She is showing the young'uns how it is done. It is absolutely amazing what she is doing. Can you even imagine going down icy ski slopes at 80 MPH with only a helmet for protection at any age let alone her age.
 
The science and technology is a great part of the Olympics.
Minimalist and form fitting outfits to enhance the wimmins aero are so important.

The way the wimmins can hold the posture that allows them to use their tail fin to simulate more side force
and induce yaaaaaw!
 
Norwegian Biathlete Sivert Guttorm Bakken has been found dead in his hotel room in Italy where he was preparing for the Olympics.
Bakken had only returned to the World Cup a month ago after missing three seasons due to myocarditis. He got 4 Top 10s and 2 Top 5s in six races this season. His most recent world cup start was last Sunday, two days before his death.

I'm sad and shocked about this and as a 24 y/o it's also quite scary when a pro athlete drops dead out of nowhere at just 27.

RIP🙁
