love, understand, and heal them in the way

has done and
continues to for me ❤️
Well I’ve had a lot of support over the last 48 hours and I have to thank everyone for that.
Today is Super G, and Super G is fun. I can’t express how grateful I am to have the opportunity to refocus on a new race, in the sport that I love so much. Onward.
Stars in the right hand, stripes in the left.. make sure it’s right side up.. careful with the wind.. don’t drop it!.. Okay okay, all set.. cool.. now SMILE!!” 😄😄

What if you could actually go back in time, and tell yourself what will happen in your own future? Would you choose to know? Or would you choose to be surprised… to find out along the way?
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift... (cont. below)
DH training run canceled today… which gives me way too much time to dwell on the fact that I feel asleep eating goldfish last night and woke up to a massacre of crumbs in my bed which was not only uncomfortable but I’m really not sure how my dentist is going to feel about it🤦♀️
Thank you everyone for your support and well wishes. At this point I’m just taking it day by day, and I’ll share more information or updates as I know more. Very thankful it’s not worse, but I’m pretty sore at the moment. I won’t be skiing the rest of this weekend…(cont.)
My family is heartbroken beyond comprehension about the unexpected passing of my kindhearted, loving, caring, patient, wonderful father. Our mountains, our ocean, our sunrise, our heart, our soul, our everything. He taught us so many valuable lessons...
I’m here (and being taken care of by the one and only
@MikaelaShiffrin
❤️🩹)…patched up…thank you so much for all of the messages. I’m grateful for all the words of love and support. This sport can be brutal, but I still love it. 🙏🏻
Will share more later.
My mind is still reeling…can’t seem to form words that match the emotion of the day…just indescribable. Thank you to my family for setting up the ultimate surprise to be there for that moment. Sharing this with my mom, brother, and Kristi was spectacular...
Lot’s of different emotions swirling around and it’s pretty difficult to find the words to sum it all up🙊😅. One thing is for sure— the last several weeks were filled with memories that will last a lifetime.
I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone…(cont. below)

(Racing DH tomorrow! The track is spectacular and I have “overthought” the crap out of it over the last couple days so it’s prob time to just point ‘em straight and get low⛷💨)
I don’t care who you are, who you cheer for, what your nationality, or what your reason. Throwing snowballs or any other kind of obstruction AT racers WHILE they are skiing to throw them off is not only disgusting, but dangerous. Get a life.
We are so heartbroken for Nina… she showed so much heart and fire in her skiing today, and it all got shredded to pieces on the final turn. This sport… this sport is SO damn hard. It’s brutal, and it hurts- far more often than it ever feels good. 🤍🙏
Cheers to the wonderful and kind people who said I lost my fire forever. This one’s for you. Also this one’s for every single person who is helping me get the fire back.
👋, I wanted to let you all know that I’m doing well, but unfortunately I had a positive COVID test. I’m following protocol and isolating, & I will miss Lienz. Best of luck to my teammates…I’ll be cheering for you. Thank you all for your support. I’ll see you in the new year. 🤍
@MikaelaShiffrin
was taken by ambulance to the clinic in Cortina and is being evaluated for a left leg injury. Initial analysis shows the ACL and PCL seem intact. Further details to come.
This was a day filled with emotions. There is so much I’d like to share… but what weighs the heaviest is the loss of
@elenafanchini
. I’m sending my condolences to the whole Fanchini Family, who have had such a strong impact on our sport and world with their passion and kindness.
Bigggg ❤️ for
@AleksanderKilde
and his beautiful dancing feet 🎉
Literally hasn't skied a run of slalom in years and then went and DID THAT. 😳🤯🥳🤩What an athlete!!! 🙌🙌
Iga Świątek claims the women's French Open! 🏆
That's her 35th consecutive win, tying Venus Williams for the longest win streak on the WTA Tour since 2000 👏
Thank you to my whole team for their patience, support, and motivation through this whole period…it could have gone a million different ways, but man I’m thankful that this is the way it went.🙏❤️

14 World Championship medals… I can not believe that. Probably never will.
Another medal with silver, yesterday, was something truly special after an unbelievable 2 weeks (4 months really). I’ve experienced nearly every emotion in the books during these Champs… (cont. below)
Soakin’ this moment in with my team…this has been a season full of emotions and successes and challenges and patience and trust. And I’m so thankful for their support and guidance through it all 🙏🏻🙏🏻
But after 5 days of schedule changes and waiting to race, and with no day between those races to recharge, I wasn’t able to manage it. And you know what? I wouldn’t change that for the world. For me the Olympics is about showing heart and passion as much as it is about medals.
That is real. That is life. It’s amazing and terrifying and wonderful and brutal and exciting and nerve racking and beautiful. And honestly, I’m just so grateful to be part of that. 💛

I am flying to Scandinavia today. I have no promises if I’ll actually be able to race when the time comes, and I don’t really even have goals. I just hope to make a few good turns. I think that would make my dad happy...

Of course when I mentioned doing an end-of-season-happy-dance everyone was like OMG DO IT...& due to my mild obsession with shuffle dancing I thought it would be appropriate to show off the only moves I know... it’s not much but I’m proud so go easy, mmk? 😝💃🥳

But TBH I mostly just miss this cave and I very much would like to go back there. ☺️👙🏝️🧜♀️🦀🐚💛
*Incredibly long post alert*
TBH…I seriously did not think I would win the ESPY last night. And, I kind of blacked out a bit on stage. But, I hope I at least got the message across about records, inspiration, how grateful I am for my entire support system, & setting…(cont.⬇️)
When you wake up and you think it was all a dream but it wasn’t a dream it actually happened it’s real and OMG!! 🙈🏆🤗
(Thank you ALL for your support, and for all of the birthday wishes the other day too! 💛)
I just want to take a moment to thank
