World Ski Championships

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or ski:

    “Why do we like being Irish? Partly because
    It gives us a hold on the sentimental English
    As members of a world that never was,
    Baptized with fairy water;”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “The goal for all blind skiers is more freedom. You don’t have to see where you’re going, as long as you go. In skiing, you ski with your legs and not with your eyes. In life, you experience things with your mind and your body. And if you’re lacking one of the five senses, you adapt.”
    —Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)
