It's a human erector set, literally....

 

[MidnightJester]

Apparently Lindsey still need a little more building and reconstruction or some un-reconstruction on the erector set. Seems like the term Fracture is underrated for her. Unstable Fracture or Broken leg bone seems like a better description for her injury.

Another injury recovery news wow. Is Federica on fire coming back from just 7 months ago. Not even being able to walk. Now two gold medals, one in the Super G and one in GS at this Olympics on home snow go Federica!

Mikaela! Big time victory!

And Moltzan with a crazy good 2nd run after 1st run issues to get into the top 10!

Good for her. TBH I figured she was going to choke again.

Heart attack inducing. What a SNIPE!

The hockey games today have been crazy fun to watch!

3 out of 4 elimination games required goals in the final minutes to tie and all ended in Overtime.

Possibly the best single day of international ice hockey in history.

All I can say is Mikaela Fucking Shiffrin. The GOAT. So happy that she medaled. So many Burkies (both BMA and Burke Mountain Community members) are just over the moon for her.

Well you can add the GOLD medal Women's Hockey game to the crazy finish category. Game went to overtime with the tying goal only coming with 2 minutes left in regulation game time.

Congratulation to USA women again. GOLD medal women's hockey winners.
