"When I walked away from Beijing, I realized there was some small bit of relief that I didn't have to experience a world where I can win an Olympic Gold medal and my dad is not alive."

I’m sorry Greg but this is a very odd opinion piece. The pain and suffering is the point? I’m searching for meaning? Why am I taking risk “at my age?” This ageism stuff is getting really old.
My life does not revolve around ski racing. I am a woman that loves to ski. I don’t have an identity issue, I know exactly who I am. I was retired for 6 years and I have an amazing life. I don’t need to ski, but I love to ski. I came all this way for one final Olympics and I’m going to go and do my best, ACL or no. It’s as simple as that.
And respectfully, if you don’t know the story, it might be best not to make assumptions.
I sat through two hours of lunacy this afternoon. And watched 15 minutes of this guy just now.
The difference is night and day.
If you want to understand the long-term damage Donald Trump is doing to our country, it’s worth your time.

England vs Colombia: 0-0.
But the match was stolen by a save from another planet. 🌍⚽️
Rene Higuita's legendary Scorpion Kick.
So iconic it made the entire England bench cry with laughter. 😂

Colorado Mesa University's new marketing hilariously mocks elite snobbery in higher ed with an imagined Featherstone University, or FU.
But @ColoradoMesaU's president tells me he's serious about making all students feel welcome as Americans question the value of higher ed.
The Faroe Islands—population just 55,000—beat the Czech Republic 🤯
An astonishing result. The territory's population is smaller than the capacity of six Premier League stadiums, yet they've just won a third straight international game 🇫🇴
If Jay Norvell gets fired at CSU, James Franklin suddenly comes to the top of my list for next HC for CSU.
Reminder Scott Sidwell worked a long time at Penn St, as did former Penn St AD who was/is on CSU Athletic Advisory Council.
Troy Dannen to Kenneth Williams:
“Dude, I just heard you don’t have a scholarship.”
KW: “No, sir.”
TD: “You do now.”
