She will be starting at nr 83 today in Slalom.. I think its extremely important that they are allowed to participate.

Will she wear that thing around her head while she ski's?

Hopefully.

She is probably dead if she goes back home without gold.

She already competed in 1 event, this is her 2nd. She was 68 of 68 that finished in the Giant Slalom, 21 seconds outta first, ouch.

[Powderguy]

And she just ran this event 69/70 so far, she beat 1 person there!

Well at least she has a sense of humor, finishing in 69th place. What a jokester...
