This was a good weekend. Friday was the Slalom in Zwiesel. Lindsey decided not to race, because of her concussion, and Maria DNF'd the 1st run. So in my opinion it happened nothing spectacular ;) I think Lindsey made the right decision on Friday, because such a concussion can be very dangerous and her health is the most important thing.
Today was the GS in Zwiesel and I think it was a great one. I just watched a little summary of the 2nd run, because I also had a GS today and I could only watch the 1st run live on my coach's laptop. If you want to know, my GS wasn't perfect but still pretty good. I finished my 1st run as 8th and was 10th after the 2nd run. I'm not completely happy with my runs and I know I can do it better but I think 10th place is acceptable, especially because my knee felt a little bit unwell today.
And I think Lindsey's GS today was great, too. She did very well. When I watched the 1st run live I was really worried about her and I had a strange anxiety she could crash again. As far as I know she felt better today but I was afraid it could be too dangerous for her to race today. But I was still sure she'll do the right thing. That's one of the reasons I admire her (: She started as 16th and I was nearly freaking out while she had her run ;) I think it was a really great run, especially because of her concussion. She finished the 1st run as 14th and I was really happy about it :)
When I watched the summary of the 2nd run I was a little bit more relaxed. Lindsey finished as 18th and she had also a great 2nd run! I know that 18th normally isn't that good...but, as you know, she had a concussion and wasn't 100%. She didn't race for a few days. For that reason it was a great performance today and I'm sure there aren't many skiers, who would race that good in such situations, like she did. She's simply the best and awesome (: Another good thing is, that Maria Riesch was 11th today so she also didn't make much points. The difference in the overall standing between Lindsey and Maria is now 156 points! That's okay in my opinion!
Now I wish Lindsey all the best for the world championships in Garmisch and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her and root for her as always (: Hope so much I'll also race in the world championships someday (: It would be so fantastic..(:
I want to share this video with you I made for Lindsey. It's the first video I made with Windows Movie Maker so it isn't perfect. But I hope you like it!
