Re: 2018 Winter Olympic Games
Thanks for sharing this here - brilliant story. I'm sure Ch 7 will just show the 50th replay of Hammer's interview with Shaun White instead.
The alpine skiing events have been monumental at these Olympics. Mayer winning the men's Super G while injured was also an amazing run.
Czech athlete Ester Ledecka is now the front-runner for best story of the games.
A World Champion Snowboarder, Ledecka entered the women's Super G downhill skiing. She borrowed a pair of skis from an American Skiier and was the 26th to take the course.
She's the first athlete, male or female, to compete in snowboarding and skiing in the same Olympics.
NBC, thinking no-one outside of the top 20 would medal, named Anna VEITH of Austria the gold medallist prior to Ledecka's run.
Ledecka produced the run of her life to pip Veith by one one-hundreth of a second and claim gold.
At the end of her run, Ledecka just stared at the clock, in disbelief at what she'd just accomplished.
I've attached the video. Its joyful to watch.
