If you hesitate, you won't survive (29.12.2010)

Riding up the mountain on a cable car somewhere in the snowy Alps, I have a very pleasant and brain stimulating discussion with the world known multi gold medalist on various events - Pippi Longstocking.
While the breathtaking scenery passes us by, Pippi, who is packed up into her skiing suit so that her strong red braids poke out from the hood, is more than happy to tell her secrets of winning all the medals.
"Basically everything comes down to sliding down the mountain without hesitation. If you hesitate, you won't survive," she said.
"Deep", I thought while looking at her coach, Mr. Nilsson who was sitting on her left shoulder, nodding in agreement.
