Before she dazzled us all with her quiet but forceful skiing style and became world champion yesterday, Mikaela Shiffrin seemed to be napping, lying on snow, near the slalom start house, and “hibernating” for about half an hour.
When I saw this, I grew concerned for her and wondered if she would ever regain her consciousness and all of her fighting spirit during the second run, but she eventually woke up, dusted herself off and managed to show me and the rest of the world that she wasn't half asleep.
I've been told, I've also read for years now, that a good nap has many beneficial virtues, so it might now be time for me to insert a few quality-naps between my many turns? This might make a huge difference on my skiing and turn back the clock at least three decades on my on-snow performance.
Who knows? I'll sleep on that one...
