Shiffrin's second run was .75 faster than her first, Shild was 2.8 faster than her first, Zettle 2.6 and Hoefl-Riesch .5.

That's a big delta for the two Austrians.

Just saw another one of those quick 10 second "ads" pop up during the hockey intermission. It was an add for NBCs own "Amazing Performances" site. Idiots :roll:
I was pissed, but assumed it was a 30 second delay and would be taped delayed until after the commercial. What was really unsettling was that the commercial didn't start right away, there was some sort of "stand by" message and I thought the whole thing (or my pc) was about to be hung.

A quote from Mikaela at a post race interview...
"People have said I'm the next Lindsey Vonn several times, it's the same thing as being the young Tina Maze or whomever," she said. "It's amazing to be compared to them and I'm honored to be compared to them, but I don't want to be the young Tina Maze or the next Lindsey Vonn. I want to be Mikeala Shiffrin and hopefully this gold medal is going to prove that."
