GREAT QUESTION!!!
She seems like she would be super coolā¦
I was in a private suite at SHRP and Harden had one, tooā¦ Everybody had been saying they saw him here/thereā¦
We were going to leave and the elevator was full so I let everyone else in our group go and stayed for the nextā¦
Here comes Harden & about 6, ummmā¦ provocatively dressed ladies into the elevator with meā¦
I was drunk so I go to high 5 him and say āoh!!! The Beard!!!āā¦ he dabbed meā¦ lol
Then the elevator started bugging and shook a little bit before going back up to the 2nd floorā¦ I could see the fear in his eyes and as soon as that door opened he was out of that elevator POST HASTE!!!

Oh bullsh-t.
She EARNED that spotā¦.no one came close to herā¦.so she should give her spot away to someone that is an alternate and has no chance to finish top 30!?
And nobody besides her and her doctors know the full scale of the injuryā¦.she knows itās her last go round and if she completely blows it out so be it.
And I couldnāt give two sh-ts about her so called āreputation ā from someone on the board that heard it 50th hand from someone at 31 flavors.

If she starts her practice there and decides she canāt go - itās not too late to give up her spot to a teammate I would think.

They would have alternates already to replace the injured.
She EARNED IT Others wanted to make the Olympics? They had to be better than her, They were not. I love that she wants to have a go at it. JLCoog if you look at her āresumeā you will see that she competed with all kinds of injuries. The good news is that she knows the course with her eyes closed. The bad news is she canāt compete without doing the practice runs. She has to do them to reinforce her courseās intel. Only then can we be sure she can actually compete. Can her ACL be āmanageableā enough for race day? We will know more.
That would be awesome if she can compete and win. Historically awesome.

She posted training videos yesterday and she looked pretty effinā good.
People hear torn ACL and immediately think of some football player that will be out a year.
Not all torn ACLās are created equally.

Yeah, as long as they can stabilize it with a brace, sheāll be fine. But it needs to be a helluva brace.

Iām conflicted, Iām rooting for her, but with the ACL couldnāt they have given that spot to an alternate and give someone that worked just as hard a first chance?
Itās her spot

OF COURSE you should cheer for herā¦just as you should cheer on anyone else thatās out there wearing the TEAM USA COLORS!!!
Incidentally, pay close attention to the opening ceremonies tonight. One of the flag bearers (a bobsled driver) is a US Army Sergeant.
ARMY STRONG!!!
