I am very impressed with Mikaela Shiffrin [View all]

Despite very disappointing performances early in the olympics she has done extensive interviews throughout after every single performance. And in my opinion she has been crazy honest and open about her thoughts feelings and vulnerabilities. Almost no athletes that I can think of tell what they are actually thinking, especially when things aren't going their way. They usually fall back of sports speak and platitudes. It takes a damn strong person to put it out there in the spotlight when they are struggling the way she has.
