Mikaela Shiffrin pens love letter to the media

She seems like she has a good head on her shoulders. Proud of her, medals or no medals!


YANQING, China, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Ski star Mikaela Shiffrin could have blamed external pressure for her disappointments at the Beijing Winter Games, but even after missing out on a podium in her sixth race she embraced the media focus on her to celebrate the good in failing...

"You just need to get up. It's the most important takeaway from these last couple of weeks for me and it has nothing to do with the Olympics. I'm just grateful that these last couple of weeks has given me a platform to actually say it."

While other athletes are quick to storm off after a disappointing race, Shiffrin has taken virtually every opportunity to acknowledge the pain of failure, call out bullying on social media and encourage others who might feel defeated to keep going.

"There's a lot of talk about this sort of battle between athletes and pressure and that the media falls on the pressure side of things. It doesn't have to be that big of a battle because I've had so much support from you guys, from the media as well," Shiffrin said. "I feel like you (the media) are the reason that our stories get told. It's our duty to help you tell the stories the best you can. You're the connection for us to be here and to do this as a living ... That's one of the most important key pieces and it's never been lost on me, no matter how much it feels like there is pressure, I'm so thankful as well. I think you deserve to know what I'm thinking."

Or to the rest of us. We could use an explanation as well.
