So she's the 30th best pipe in the world? Not bad.


It is a problem though from the POV that it's not a widely competed sport though. More on the Olympics than her. A) She's a women in a sport that basically is a guy thing, showing off and trying to top each other and for every 100 guys competing there is one woman competing (Kinda my problem with title X that "equal opportunity" is based on the wrong numbers) in a sport that has huge barriers to entry, money, access, and in her case mobility, you can at least argue that Super G is a widely attended sport but being near a half pipe is another level of exclusivity.

So yeah, she gamed it well, she's the thirtieth best half pipe skier in the world.
