US Skiers Destroy Competition!
No she isn’t falling- she’s going 80 miles an hour and killing the rest of her World Cup competitors! Lindsey Vonn is simply crushing her opponents, winning four straight World Cup gold medals- some races by 40-50 meters. So are the rest of her teammates, both men and women. It’s a great sports story most Americans will never hear: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204770404577082591817947110.html?grcc=970366a9b0cb9e683e53b75a94c13dfaZ3&mod=WSJ_hps_sections_sports

And they were getting smoked in their training runs by their Austrian “older brothers”.
Eight years later, it’s the Austrians who are praising (and losing to) them. One of them said, “We see them as super-cool because they are having so much fun.
