Ok I will just say it - I am crazy in LOVE with that woman !!! It’s not that she is such a great skier - or her competitive drive (without that sharpness or desperation that makes so many athletes insufferable). It is clear, as Kilde put it -she is just different, her love for skiing and desire to improve is unique and PURE. Her generosity of spirit and respect for her fellow athletes and fans and honesty with, je ne sais quoi- a wise innocence…I love the rapport she has with Kilde in the Norwegian You Tube piece…her sincere sensibility on larger issues and how she is able to be so visible on social media without being insufferable. I love her as a human being, the total package, the potential of what we can be, or at least aspire to be if we follow our best instincts. The antidote to all the BS and toxins in our society.
She makes me want to be a better human being. What’s not to love?
