Titus69You need to calm the fuck down over this, what part of skiing is she going to ruin? She's not gonna effect sales at ski stores or the resorts, she's a laughing stock herself, the finals for pipe showed that most of the professionals can but a heavy run down, and to a litle more than half a million people on national tv I imagine. Jesus Christ be pissed that she rigged the system, not that she can't ski for shit.
Titus69idk why she even thinks she should be there.
TheHamburglarI think she just wanted to make the Olympics in whatever event she could? She tried in skeleton and failed a few years ago I believe
I agree that people are overreacting over this, but I see comments on social media in total support of her and that's what pisses me off
steezy.stewOMFG apparently she was quoted by the AP saying "I didn't qualify for finals so I'm really disappointed," This chick is straight up delusional. You would really think that having invested so much time involved with the sport, even at here level, she would have come to terms with the fact her intentions are only self-serving and that she's wasting errybodies time.
Here's a link to another article: http://thecomeback.com/olympics/olympic-halfpipe-skier-liz-swaney-really-disappointed-no-real-trick.html
It does a really fair job of putting into context her efforts compared to other Olympic frauds, while pretty much calling her out for being a pussy that put in no effort to even try.
papermacheShe's not delusional. She received an undergrad degree from Berkeley and a masters in finance from harvard. She's self-promoting herself. That's all this is about. Nobody as smart as her is dumb enough to think her run was good enough.
theabortionatorShe's not even funny though. I don't care about the purity of the games or whatever, but if you're going to troll be amusing. She's just shitty at everything she does.
CambrewskiJust wondering how you can spend so much time posting your dumb hate on NS about people you dont know. Do you think that your opinions matter more and more as your post count goes up? honest question
SchlossAdlerJesus christ its terrible for the sport, little Dana's Mum and Dad see that run at the olympics and tell her that it's not an actual career, see there aren't even enough successful athletes to fill out an olympic event. Suddenly girls get priced out of pursuing pipe seriously and progressing the sport. Imagine if this was slope, it's absolutely horrible for girl's pipe and skiing in general it makes skiing look like an oddity and not a real sport/career/goal you know?
I'm actually so mad, it totally demeans the efforts of every skier whose put in the blood, sweat, tears to get to the top. If they were short competitors they could have literally just grabbed a girl skier shredding our park up if they wanted, they would have at least grabbed with style and probably done a couple of spins.
