Yeah, but they only count his fastest run.

Misdemeanor domestic violence and assault? I would say pushing somebody down two flights of stairs and then locking him in warrants a felony charge.

The first line of the story, "things have gone downhill," is just awful.

Well...if my Dad had named me Picabo, I might have pushed him down a flight of stairs.

I'm just saying.....

Did they take him to the wing of the Hospital she donated? The Picabo ICU?

There's no excuse for violence against women.

She has the look of someone who feels cheated by fame, angry at fate for not making her more famous/successful than she believes she should've been.

But then, Olympic medalists can't all be Caitlyn, after all.

Hmm, so that's what happens when you give a female Olympic skier a silly name?

The thrill of victory, and the agony of the stairs.

It might have been an sccident.

1. Suppose I tie a string across a stairhead. A fragile relative, from whom I have expectations, trips over it, falls, and perishes. Should we ask whether I tied the string there intentionally? Well, but it's hard to see how I could have done such a thing unintentionally, or even (what is not the same) not done it intentionally. You don't do that sort of thing -- by accident? By mistake? Inadvertently? Or on the other hand, would I be bound to admit I did it "on purpose" or "purposely"? That has an ugly sound. What could the purpose have been if not to trip at least someone? Mayne I had better claim I was simply passing the time, playing cat's cradle, practising tying knots.

If the stairs between two floors has a landing in the middle (say to change direction), then each section of stairs is a 'flight'

If I had been "pushed down" two flights of stairs, I would have had a lot more than "some scratches on my elbows and neck," if I was alive at all.

This sounds like it is the father who is preferring charges on his daughter, though it was he who started this. But Picabo is the famous one, and he gets the sympathy for being 76 years old and all, besides it makes a better story from the paparazzis' point of view.

Stand by for further bulletins.

The parents were hippies. That's why they named her that silly name.

Sounds like she got their genes.

Three kids? ...and grandpa is the only adult male in the house? I'll guess her baby daddy had already hit the road.....so to speak.

Hagar ayon kay ...

There is nothing in the aticle that says grandpa was a resident in the house; it rather suggests this was a home invasion.

I'd forgotten she existed.

He named her Picabo; she gets one free push.

Ms. Street was heard to shout: "Why couldn't you have named me Sue?"
