Would she be taking a spot from another US athlete that could have competed?
I played one night. One of the women said I was pretty good but she might have been making a move on me.
I asked when we could "stack the brooms" and I was part of the family
Probably not. Anyone that would replace her would just be a field filler.
I did intramural curling at ISU. Nothing like trying to send that rock down the ice that hasn't been Zamboni'd after open skate at like 2 am.
I will be eagerly watching.
She is a bit of a psychotic personality, so if anyone can do it. She can. Heck, she dated Tiger Woods. Lol.
But the ACL is a major stabilizer of the knee, especially in someone flying down the mountain at 80+ mph, so I have strong doubts she will be even close to competitive.
Amen to that! All the while... NBA players... and some college players... are taking games off for rest days. I don't remember Jordan taking nights off just to rest?
I’ll never understand why we share pictures of beautiful women that make us think first about their makeup…

If Jordan took time off it was because he had adult things to deal with like gambling.
We know astronomically more about rest, nutrition, and things like that now than we did 30 years ago. He would have done the same thing had we known.
Honestly I'm just not that into the Winter Games. I'm way more interested in the events at the summer games. I could watch swimming all day. I'll probably watch a little skiing and maybe some bobsled type stuff but not going to go out of my way for it.
I love any Olympics because I just tell YoutubeTV to save everything and then I can go pick and choose what to watch whenever I want, it's like 2 weeks of endless content.
I'm in the same boat, i love the summer games more but I do enjoy events like Hockey. I think it comes down to 2 in reasons.
1) The winter games feels like there is just less overall head to head events. Sure you got hockey, curling, ice skate racing, etc. However, so many events feel like just races against the clock or subjective execution events. Watching a guy do tricks on the halfpipe is cool but it doesn't compare to watching the USA compete in Track relays vs Jamaica.
2) the USA just isn't dominate in the winter games. Sure, parity is nice, but in the summer games it feels like the USA has a chance to win a medal in every event. In the Winter America isn't even the best country. So many events like skiing are dominated by other nations like Norway which takes away my interest in watching them personally.
