Lindsey Vonn is beautiful, and she is also a great athlete and skier. I note concerns about her skiing alignment problems.
This photo would be a great introduction into a tutorial about skiing and biomechanics, alignment, boot fitting, body position, CG etcetc.
At least there might be the opportunity to get attention.
I agree at least from this angle her legs look well aligned.
So?
1. the more the foot is plantar flexed, the less it is able to supinate and pronate. What lessons are there in this, I ask myself.
2. The more zeppa and delta, the more knee flexion there will need to be to maintain balance ( esp in this case no ski boot cuff, and a short base of support ) I say to myself.
3. ....................... etc - how many more can I think of?
I think PMTS is fantastic; this is one way to increase appeal.
