    Ester Ledecka skied 26th which meant the course was already broken up by the previous 25 skiers and far more difficult to ski. No one, and I mean no one, has any chance of winning that far down the draw...and on borrowed skis..... no chance ! She had previously never been anywhere near a podium during the skiing world cup season. And yet...!!!
    Her "mistakes" were her response to skiing at the limits of human ability under those circumstances. During those 1minute 21.11 seconds she was well and truly "in the zone".. a special place that transcends conscious thought and lets the body do what it must do to win. Her winner's mind was already there, as the top snowboarder, and it was harnessed for this incredible athletic feat under the most difficult circumstances.... so I can understand her thought of "what have I done???"

As far as the original post goes, race temperature was 16 degrees F so I'm sure it held up fine. And the reason she won (this is from Bode Miller, not me) is she took a more aggressive line to begin and shortened the course (even with the mistakes) on everyone. She's proven since then that she's a legit downhiller and this is her pace. And even before this she never considered herself just a snowboarder that ski's. She considered herself a dual sport athlete.

  • @sadrevolution

    I watched this broadcast live on CBC when it happened. They said something to the effect of "The Americans (NBC) have cut their broadcast to somethings else by this point, they aren't even showing this." The skiers skied in order of their world ranking, so I guess they figured no one was catching up to the top competitors and started covering another sport (at least on the main channel). Just to give you an idea of the magnitude of this upset. And then Ledecka would win gold in her snowboarding event (parallel giant slalom) a few days later!

    • @bjako
      @bjako 4 роки тому +55

      That is correct: NBC cut to another sport. To their credit, they did go back and show this run just after the fact. In a way it was perhaps more dramatic as they had to explain why they were going back to skiing and that this was really a great snowboarder that just shocked the skiing world. Either way it was way cool.

    I remember watching on NBC and Dan Hicks said something like, “Well, all of Austria, not to mention all of the world, all of the media, INCLUDING US, were assuming Anna Veith would be the winner.” NBC was airing figure skating at the time, and as they’re going to commercial break, Terry Gannon, the figure skating commentator, says “We hear there’s a surprise at the women’s Super G.”
    When NBC comes back from break, they show the super g course, and Dan Hicks says, “Well, these are the Olympics, and anything can happen, and it just happened in the women’s super g.” To quote another of Dan Hicks’ famous quotes, “Just when you think you’ve seen it all!”

      That's a myth guys. She had second hand skis that were returned to the manufacturer presumably by Shiffrin - which is pretty normal practice that the lesser known skiers pick among those returned skis - but Ester made the skis her own for some time and fine tuned them. It was not a last minute ski exchange:-) What is true though is that Ester's boot was broken for the race but they decided to risk it because she was used to it. It could have completely broke any moment.

      @@yahopostinguy429 excellent analysis.
      She is also more raw than others, I would add. With more strength, the natural confidence level is higher - she could balance her mistakes with raw body strength due to her hard training routines.
      Majority fans think it's all in legs (just like in hockey, for example).
      The overall body strength is the deciding factor in athletic disciplines. Every muscle must be trained and exercised because in the end, they all work like one perfect machine.
      And there are many, even great - athletes who do not like the weight room.
      Ledecka is supremely conditioned in comparison to other competitors because she puts time and effort into the entire body conditioning.
      There are some exceptions to the rule in history of athletic sports but if you want to really be the best, talent is only a fraction of the success.
      Hard work is the key

    STUNNED! While she hit some turns like it was Freestyle, look at how little snow is being sprayed out from her Atomics - meaning perfect arc carving, which is much much faster than skidding around the turns.

    • @pavelcerny9803

    Ester Ledecka of Czech and Petra Majdič of Slovenia are the two most inspiring athletes, male of female, summer or winter, of all time! Just amazing women.
    Petra won a bronze medal in the 2010 Lake Placid winter Olympics after competing in four 1.4km skiing sprints. So what you ask?...well.... she skied all the races with 5 broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

    Truly amazing athlete; not only did she recover from 2 errors to beat the favourites but she did so on skis BORROWED from Mikaela Shiffrin! You couldn't make it up, just brilliant! The commentary was also pure gold too, especially when they realised she was ahead.

  • @ladislavmalak444
    @ladislavmalak444 Рік тому +5

    I suspect the Czech brothers will stone me for this, but I still feel incredibly sorry for Anna Veith. She went through miserably hard times before those Olympic games, like injury and stuff, and then lost by the smallest possible of margins.... Don´t get me wrong, I really do deeply respect Ledecka for her talent and achievment, but if I could turn back time, I would absolutely let Anna Veith win this one particlar race.

    • @jakubfranek9995
      @jakubfranek9995 Рік тому +5

      That's not what it's about. After what she went true, second place is huge. But, many men and women Went through a lot, doesn't mean they should deserve it more.

    • @DarklordZagarna
      @DarklordZagarna 9 місяців тому +1

      You definitely have to feel for Anna a bit here, but I think she herself recognized that even a silver medal was an amazing achievement after all the injuries she had to fight back from. She seems to be doing great, just had her second child a month or so ago.
