An unprecedented challenge from the world’s top female skier to race
against the men in Canada has prompted this country’s alpine elite to
both laud her gumption and the potential publicity it brings, but at
the same time cite an avalanche of reasons why Lindsey Vonn shouldn’t
compete.
...
Perhaps underneath it all, the boys of the White Circus are a little
bit scared of being “chicked.”
“That’s a verb used in ski racing – chicked – to chick someone,”
explained Canadian alpine racer Larisa Yurkiw.
