      She must have seen it as a mistake. The question was really if the purpose of the move actually was to gain stability or to show off. And I would like to believe she meant to gain stability but happened to go about it the wrong way. Would not really like to believe that she was lying.

    We probably all scoffed at her for having a lack of humility in that mad moment in Turin 2006. Looking back, and understanding the sport (and life!) more, she probably was just a young athlete having fun and lost to a more deserving rider. I congratulate her for staying the course over the intervening years and having the tenacity to finally fulfill her Olympic dream.

As in after preparing a long time to compete at the Olympics, participating in pre-Olympic qualifiers and having the gold medal locked in she completely humiliated herself showboating; in the process losing a gold medal, possibly a bundle of cash (commercials, her face on cereal boxes, etc) and had to wait another 4 years before she has another chance at the gold, so is she still having fun?

    She, by sheer definition is not the best. She’s someone that was lucky.

      A 20 year old having a slip up in professionalism isn’t exactly ground-breaking, you’re still a kid at that age.
      She is a 10-time world champion, so I suppose on many occasions she was indeed the best. Not sure you if you could call that lucky.
