The coverage is terrible as usual but worst. Bode puts his foot in mouth, accusing Anna Fenninger Veith's lack of results on her marriage and husband. I heard that and thought to myself, "Wow this will come back and haunt him." Now it's all over social media.
Even if scientific studies have shown that women's aggressiveness does decline when they are in a relationship that could produce a family. There is a hormonal change that can affect athletic performance. Even so, it was a rather insensitive way of responding to Anna's efforts.

Especially considering how bad her knee injury turned out to be. Though, it is Bode... have to take the good with the occasional political incorrectness.
Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.
Well, I guess Anna Veith answered the call in the SuperG today.........only to be pipped by a snowboarder! What's that all about??! Great event and great to see Tina W on the podest also. / Gene
I'm very light, I think it was an ignorant statement given her circumstances and it is chauvinistic. Come on, blaming her husband for her lack of results compared to before her injury, uncalled for stupidy.
