    Still believe it was a terrible decision she made to try with that knee

    Gotta feel kind of bad for the woman who actually won that event.

    I don't think her leg was the cause of the accident.  She clipped a gate with her shoulder.  The leg just paid the price in the yard sale.

    Hard to blame Vonn for trying.  I know they have other skiing events but the Olympics only come alone once every 4 years and this was going to be her last time anyway,  I give her a lot of credit for trying.  Really sucks to end that way.

    The drone camera's have really added a cool element to the coverage. It was great on the skiing so far.

    During timeouts in Super Bowl flipped to the Snowboarding flips or whatever its called.  The tricks these kids today can do in mid-air are insane.    have enjoyed this so far.

    She needed to make a sharp turn off her left leg heading into the jump, which was harder due to her very recent knee injury.

    And on her final run she fell flat on her face!!!
    Nothing injured but her pride. 

    I told my wife I felt like lighting a cigar. 

    She still got a Silver.
