saw this screenshot at a formative moment during haydiscourse (hayden pike discourse) and the second person is jackie pike to me. jackie pike olympic skier. hayden/jackie jock4jock relationship. she had a bunch of knee surgeries/got burned out/was in a bad place mentally with the sport so she retired when she was like 19. went to culinary school for a minute and had 4 kids in quick succession because she is an elite-athlete-brained nutcase. she has two speeds: 100mph and asleep, and no one can figure out when she does the latter. when hayden says she gets bored, he is, if anything, minimizing the issue. when kids are all finally out of diapers and in school she says she has too much free time and decides she wants to start training again. she becomes reigning ski champion for the next 10 years.
