Making us all so proud, but there is more to that. You stood up to the challenge and put it really together. All this in the very first World Championship for Women in Ski Jumping competition.
You are, I believe, the United States' first World Champion in Ski Jumping. Feb 20, 2009. Lets all try to remember this date. Todd Lodwick joined you bringing down the "Mass Start" Nordic Combined Gold Medal for the United States as well (I will get that video link in here shortly as well).
Watch the full Competition Here!
As to analysis: She skis like she means it. Quick to her in run position, solid in the track, explosive like no one else that day, and just beautifully together in the air and taking her jumps for all they were worth.
Lindsey put in a solid first jump landing in 4th place, and her second jump, something like 4 meters furhter than her closest competitor moved her all the way to the top.
The clip above is the unedited feed that went from FIS to Universal sports and it is likely to be edited and changed, but it is wonderful in it to see the galavanting after the event and more than that the beauty and poise these women present.
You go girl!
All star, that is what you are! Lets look up the Video on Todd next! That link is to the takeout of his jumps: Powerful and Poised! Great Jumps Todd. Lets find the XC mass Start Next. This is the Full XC Race (suffer through the Sprint Ads one more time)
You go Todd too!
