    Fabulous interview, great questions and Lindsey was the consumate professional. Such a breath of fresh are to see someone at the top of their tree and yet so humble. Interesting also to watch in hindsight considering it was Lindsey's final race yesterday.

    She seemed very genuine and thoughtful, not full of herself; intense and composed, wishing her well, as well as new opportunities and meaning to grow in her relationship with adrenaline. Even the way she skies inspires the heart.

    Interesting contrats with sophisticated British acedemia...she is so blunt, straightforward and uses some rude language but she is a great inspiration in terms of will power and shaping one's destiny. Her modesty regarding her acedemic performance I find touching...she realizes that at Oxford she is amongst people who she perceives as having more expertise than her and she is a little unsure of herself...very genuine.

    Watch Lindsey win the Gold at the Vancouver Olympics. Her downhill winning run is incredible to watch. She is an absolutely great skier. She truly is fearless. RUclips it.

    Wow, its so wonderful to hear Lindsey speak! She's an inspiration herself and so very down to earth. I couldn't help but wonder though what she said about elite athletes at 12:05 was kind of a snide remark at Tiger Woods!

    She's much cooler than I thought she was. It's sort of sad to see how much she had to give up (not going to school) to be as good as she is. But she's just as smart as anyone in that room. She just doesn't think she is. Props to Oxford too. It's nice to finally see a decent interview of her, as opposed to the usual nonsense on late night talk shows.

    Lindsey has responded an interesting point to the interviewer and to the audiences that she does not know whether she will win if she would race with a male skier. Preliminary speaking, if the United States Ski and Snowboard Association willing to award the best male ski racer in the world with a considerable amount of money; then i am immediately researching the solution to this progressive question, right now.
