So, Swedish downhill skiier Anja Pärson crashed spectacularly in the downhill on Wednesday. When I say spectacularly I mean that one of our commentators, a former downhill skiier, was crying and said "I can't believe she's not unconscious." It was absolutely terrifying.
Yesterday, this happened:
She won an Olympic bronze medal not 24 hours after the scariest crash of her career. I just--that's some incredible determination, especially considering she had to face the same run as the one she crashed in (super-combined consists of both downhill and slalom). The last jump had been whittled down, but still. But still. Anja Pärson, ladies and gentlemen.
ETA: If you're bored, or something, you should hunt down a picture of your favorite female Olympic athlete and post it here. :D? :D?

Oh, that is so sweet! I'm really sorry she turned out to suck, but at least you got that day. And she was good, too.
