A nasty crash for Lindsey but how many other racers crashed that day? Man up Lindsey.

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

I'm not sure about the safety of the run, others did the course and got down ok, I am however concerned that they ran a race so late in the day when it was fairly unlikely that all taking part would actually get to start

Should Vonn have been given the gold medal anyway I'm sure Chilton would agree?

Many will put this down to the wildly stereotyped american ethos of "it's always someone elses fault". However the fact remains that Super G is just too dangerous full stop.
There definitely needs to be some rule changes; was talking with this guy on the internet who's world number 1 in ski racing expertise and he suggested;
lengthening the skis
increasing the turn radius
removing the aerodynamic suites
flattening out large jumps
practice runs like in downhill
under suite body armour
rubber stoppers on pole ends
making avalanche airbags manditory
or, alternatively sitting all super-G racers down on the first day and explain in no uncertain terms that this is a dangerous sport and you are doing it because you want to.... i don't know this Vonn lady but I can't imagine it was her first Super-G race, wasn't it on TV and everything.
At the very least maybe she won't still be seeking legal advice to challenge the men next year !

Actually quite the opposite... most of guys (on WC at least) are complaining that SG races are getting too slow and too GS like... which actually current results pretty much support. Just take Ligety for example and think how many chances he would have on real SG... zero  So nowadays SG races are really a little bit faster GS, and only difference is, that most of GS races are held on injected courses, while most of SG races are held on non-injected DH courses, and are therefore more dangerous (believe it or not, racing non-injected course brings much bigger risk then when racing on injected ones).

Filthyphil30k, this is true, but I can't think like that, it's not fair!
Honestly, a question to all beatiful women, does it not bother you that you will never know if you really are funny or interesting?
