Throwdown around here that
while
start looking for
Killington the ship
this is the
me to cheer her down the hill for what they hope
is a fifth title
you talked about the importance of being aggressive
hello Christy could you be a snow
she has to go fully for any knowing how fast
he can't leave any
to chance to throw out all the calculations and just go for
an big mistake there but
that's amazing which is able to do
that very cat like reactions
falcon court the second track immediately
really let's see there %HESITATION so
yeah
you know it's a it's pretty amazing %HESITATION ability
there this is good clean skiing she is
that she's moving well
so far so good and hopefully she
yeah maybe see a little
bit
she's still making it to the to many time's up we see it just
looks like she's out of a race she's been
in that position in the Olympics and
this is a shipment comes down
which is
she leads
eight leave now
to put this user that
hopefully
she's hearing this
make you nervous a tense you know it's that statement
that puts up a bit more up to the Stargate gate heard Bible
she wants to get out of the water %HESITATION street
straight
the last season
Diggs
he does he McHale
the end of
I think she knows that this crowd gets fired up and sends
a message up the hill that can make a difference in
your senior mistake right there
didn't even really costs or anything else amazing how how
quickly she got back on rhythm and that's just what's
amazingly makayla really loves to be over prepared and ski
everything very calculated
she has that rare ability
to make those crazy recoveries what we know it's going to be
here one hundred and tenth podium at a hundred and ninety
six World Cup starts it's just amazing percentage of like
sixty six percent of the time
makayla shipping loads of the World Cup gate
she ends up on the podium
what's what's the second percentage on that probably
like twenty
so she
has just one steer to Dodge here but it's our biggest rival
the whole
time
but should return in a good one there that puts a big time
pressure on will hold on to win her third straight slalom race
early in this World Cup season
already
thank
let's see what you can do here what I really love about her
skiing is Jesus stands up tall use the knees Nichols and his
release and it says
so smoothly and this is green skiing up here
McHale actually lost time to %HESITATION when you have a
the big mistake
Diggs estate
the big problems
time
yeah that was definitely a second mistake right there
and I don't think that that's possible bring this back to
the bottom here to give me the
back on the podium but that was too much for how
you're still losing time the second
shift what is it about this place Killington the magic of
it the special it is perfect
the advantage the last
Killington
the meaning that's a amazing Steve McHale and it shows you
know having that crowd
really consider
it put the pressure
just I mean if she's been the machine like
picture of consistency as of late so that was a rare miscue
mistake just got caught honors scheme just got tripped up
a little bit by the gate and it's amazing to me that recovery to
get back in the course and salvage a podium because that
was a big mistake
most people would be out of the course in that situation but
since she has
get back in the course in for sure Coster a lot of time maybe
the wind but
sixteen a back into it
an amazing feeling
at a place Killington where
the killer Schifrin says it feels like
it doesn't really feel like the World Cup season starts until
nine here at Killington
Mikayla congratulations on an emotional and incredible when
you needed near perfection to get that win how would you
describe your mentality at the window Stargate
yeah my mentality was
you for aggressive it's actually
that was how I I really need to be for both runs
and I had it a bit the first round but
just small small things here and there and
%HESITATION and it wasn't a perfect
most of it was really quite
quite strong I'm super aggressive so
%HESITATION
yeah I mean I knew pressure's going to do the same and we
both had
we both had a mistake
I think hers was a bit
of a bigger
yeah that it just
it's it's a big fight it's a tight this year and
right exciting so I hope that everybody enjoyed watching
because that was
about as much show is we as we have
we see a lot of emotion you and we've talked so much about
the rivalry that you do have with patches so how do you to push
each other and how does she bring the best out of you
I mean
it takes somebody who is not only able to do the work and
just give it away but also
you don't really does that and
takes care of all the really fine details and %HESITATION
she
she with her team
they're doing and they
have what they need and they're pushing the limits and
we're trying to do the same
and
I think every single time we have a race
why was looking okay what's
what we have to do now and push harder harder never saying no
that's enough and %HESITATION
and I think they're doing the same so
just keep pushing the limits and it's really
it's a great test every single race is an enormous test and
it's a cirque
very nerve wracking as well
