Thanks, just ruined my day. I liked watching Tina, but at least we get an announcer who knows what she's talking about - no insult intended to current commentators!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Damn. Time flies... I skied almost next to her in Chile 5 years ago. (Well, to be precise, she skied next to where I was, relatively speaking, standing still).

Thought it was open knowledge she was going to ski Maribor then retire. Clearly she hasn't been in any racing training or I would have thought a last crack at the World Champs would be on the cards.

@Dave of the Marmottes, depends on if you follow racing. I said when she took the year out that she wouldn't come back. She was commentating with Eurosport last year so nicely setting up her retirement career

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Such a ski professional - apart from her records and achievements, i can't remember her ever breaking / tweaking / pulling any of her bones /joints etc. She always made sure of finishing, a DNF was extremely rare - a smart, determined, tough hard grafter and quite a gifted ski racer girl to boot. Probably not the most gifted but definitely the most determined, consistent and ultimately 'professional' IMO. Gonna miss not seeing her ski anymore...
