I'll never forget the crushed look on Veith's face when Ledecka beat her by 0.01 to take the gold medal in Super-G at the 2018 Olympics. I love a surprise win as much as anybody but I was so rooting for Veith to take the gold that day. A superb skier.

Karking injuries. She would have been one of the greats
I think I will still be able to look back & remember her skiing more clearly than many of the other more dominant racers.

Same here, Would’ve meant so much as she struggled to come back to her former greatness.

I always have a soft spot for athletes who manage to succeed without size and absolute power, in a world where size and power are sometimes said to be everything.

Nooooooo....
She was one of the best ever before that hideous knee injury. 2018 Olympics was really unfortunate. 1/100!

She made Lindsey look very ordinary at her home world champs in 2015.

A real pocket rocket

More from FIS here. I love this: "I look back with so much gratitude and only a pinch of melancholy."
