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.

NP. You clearly don’t know her story. After the last Olympics, and the subsequent Worlds (where she earned bronze), she quit the sport. She took a two-year break. Then she decided she wanted to skate, train and compete again, on her own terms, for fun and with no pressure. Before, she could do a triple Axel. She didn’t get that back, but she gained consistency and joy of skating. It’s unheard of that she returned and within a year, won the World Championship. Then went on to win the Olympics.

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.

None of which SHE could help. She earned some medals and retired, probably due to a lot of Tiger Parent pressure.

THEN, ON HER OWN TERMS, she came back. Her return has been relaxed, joyful, with her personality driving all the decisions of look, costume, music, training, letting go of the 3A. And now she is reining World and Olympic champion. Two gold Olympic medals, with the Team event.

Wow, interesting that you signed your post Chinese. Are you trying to say all Chinese people hold your a$$hole opinions? Way to represent.

I honestly don’t think the circumstances of her birth are that weird among wealthy gay people. Her dad probably fits in that group as do many of the people around them in the Bay Area.

What a well-supported, well-articulated response.

Even casual watchers of this year’s women’s skating events would have picked up on the improbability of a comeback leading to this level of success. Jonny, Tara and Terry talked about it in their commentary. Ask Rachel Flatt, Gracie Gold, Elaine Zayak and the Shibutanis how their comebacks after a long break went.

The Canadian pair skater Deanna Stellato-Dudek (American by birth) has a phenomenal comeback story, including World’s gold, but unfortunately a recent injury threw the pair off and they didn’t medal at the Olympics.

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.

Blonde.

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. 😂

Plus the figure skating team event podium that wrecked all their blades.

Google it. I watched it live.

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

I’m not the PP, but I watched it on the venue feed on Peacock.

I do not think that the above comment is a skate to grind? It’s very factual and neutral. He is rich and probably gay, and surrogacy is common in that circle?

Mikaela Shifrin is also blonde. And pretty.
I think they just filmed a bunch of stuff about Vonn because they wanted to have this big comeback story, and then she crashed and hurt herself and they are still using all the stuff they invested in because they don't know how to pivot.

Didn’t Yuna Kim take a break and then come back and set a bunch of world records?
