Tina Maze also writes a Slovenian skiing fairy tale at the 2015 Alpine Skiing World Championships in Vail and Beaver Creek, which, with exceptional success, quickly got "translations" into many foreign languages (read the media). It was clear that the exceptionalism of Tina Maze, which she is showing again these days beyond the puddle, was not only widely reported by the domestic media, because such impressive successes cannot go unnoticed, even if we are talking about America, which alpine skiing not overly interested.
Tina Maze you are a nickname the queen of skiing or rather, the snow queen did not ski until this year with the results in Vail or Beaver Creek, but American soil and the event where the show was booked for Lindsey Vonn and the company, which was "stolen" by Tina, was an ideal opportunity for this status to also receive the American blessing.

Well, not to be unfair. Some media have already sung Tina's praises, one of the most beautiful was certainly the one in the magazine The Atlantic, where the author named her as Michael Jordan of this underrated sport. This opinion is now spreading like a flu, but it did not stop our champion when she paved the way to two gold and one silver medal at the WC. And if we read in a foreign language, that would be her five medals a gift for the entire alpine skiing, not only for Slovenia (such as ESPN), then we know that Tina reached the hearts of Americans as well and became a "mainstream" name, something that only Lindsey Vonn has actually succeeded in doing so, and we know what she had to achieve for that.
Who among the foreign media couldn't praise Tina Maze in recent days?
He sings her praises Reuters, who, after preventing a triple Austrian celebration and maintaining the possibility of repeating the achievement of Lasse Kjus, who always reached for a medal at the WC in 1999, declared her queen of the world championship in alpine skiing. Austrian state television was no less generous ORF, who said that there is a championship in the Rocky Mountains, where everyone competes against Mazejeva. The successes also captivated the American NBC television (she endured the downhill), which summed up Tina's desire for five medals and the fact that she is getting closer to a new history. High circulation newspaper The New York Times is in addition to Tina's versatility and successes (among other things, that she became one of the six contestants in history who managed to get honors in all five disciplines and that this year, with four different golds, he is close to repeating it), for which he awarded her the title of the most dominant female skier, also attracted her "signature" from the victory, now already the famous bike.
Also an American media house ESPN she stopped at the bicycle, which she jokingly added to her feats, since she did it with pancars on soft snow, adding that skiing was not to be thrown away either. Otherwise, they also summarized her prediction about jumping to the snowflake quintet and Nicole Hosp and Kathrin Zettel bowing after winning the alpine combined. But the competitive rivalry with Lindsey Vonn and the feelings when things don't go your way didn't pass either. Here, says Mazejeve for ESPN, the most important thing is self-confidence, which is the only real medicine to overcome a crisis. The newspaper also took off its hat in front of her USA Today, who said that Tina is becoming undisputed queen of beaver creek.
