The Fall From Grace (and the Long Road Back)
Remember last season? Yeah, me neither, to be honest. It was rough for Pinturault. He’s usually a top contender, a consistent force in the World Cup. But last year? Injuries, I think? I don’t remember the specifics. I’m more of a casual fan, you know? I’m not really following the nitty-gritty details. I just love to watch the races.
He wasn't himself; he was struggling. It was brutal to watch, honestly. Like watching your favorite sports team go through a losing streak.

That's what makes the Beaver Creek win so special. It wasn’t just a win; it was a statement. A testament to his resilience, his dedication, and his pure talent. For a moment, I forgot all the drama – all the ups and downs. His comeback was so dramatic; I literally screamed like a little girl.

He'd obviously worked on his technique during his time off – maybe he focused on strength training and core stability.
