It's especially frustrating as we have 3 gold medalists this year in women's skiing (Breezy, Mikaela, and Elizabeth Lemley in moguls).

Mikaela is incredibly beautiful, she's just been toiling away in non-Olympic years piling up more world cup wins than anyone else instead of doing modeling and influencing.

Mikaela is the GOAT of alpine skiing with 3x as many gold medals and more than 2x as many world cup wins, but you'd think it was Lindsay the way the media has been carrying on.

Alysa Liu could sell the rights to her biopic to Netflix for 50 million

I think her and amber have inspired a new generation of skaters.

There’s def going to be a mega spike in kids participating in skating

I don’t remember skaters being so inspirational and cool in decades.

Her biopic? The circumstances of her birth were a little odd, but other than that, it's mostly just the same as many other figure skaters or niche athletes--lots of tiger parenting from an affluent parent.

Agree. It’s nice to see them being friends and hanging out. I think Alysa’s story about being able to skate without it being all consuming is such an important message.

Don’t you think I already did that? No luck. Where did you watch it live?

Is it just me, or has there been better featurey coverage of these games?

Between the NYTimes and NPR, I’ve read/heard good stories about transit between venues, the ski wax truck, how they maintain different ice temperatures for the different events. I’ve learned a lot of random stuff!

And don’t forget the dog that stormed the cross country venue. 😂

As others have noted, the circumstances of her birth is too weird.
A Chinese father who did not procreate with his Chinese wife but instead chose surrogacy with white eggs for all 5 children.

Then the smug and poor choice of language.
Her legs are kind of short and thick. I guess that is why she needed to punk it up above the shoulder.
