Last week, I was going over the news section on Yahoo's main page and I found an article on Lindsay Vonn. Lindsay Vonn's husband believes that the Austrian coach that designed the women's super-G course intentionally designed it in a way so that Vonn would be at a disadvantage. He states that he knew "for a fact that the Austrian course setter said that he was setting [the super-G course] against Lindsey." Vonn's husband did say that he heard this secondhand. But the author of the article believes that if it were true that there is nothing wrong with it. He states that if there's anything to complain about it should be the rule that allows coaches to design coaches.
The rule that allows a coach of a lucky country to design the course is a ridiculous and unfair, but I also believe that the coach should also be fair when constructing the course. It's the Olympics, it's an event where athletes come together to participate in sporting events as friendly competition and I'm sure that they would want to win square and fair without any advantages.
