In the women’s downhill, Breezy Johnson won gold with a time of 1 minute and 36 seconds, plus 10 hundredths of a second. Emma Aicher of Germany won silver with a time of 1 minute and 36 seconds, plus 14 hundredths of a second. The New York Times used compositing to show how close the race was, as if Johnson and Aicher were skiing at the same time.
That is nuts. You do the best with what you have and the rest is decided by randomness on the mountain.
