Hungarian skier becomes headlines for her 'worst' performance in Pyeongchang Olympic

Sometimes you don't have to be the best to catch eyeballs. Maybe going towards the opposite direction is also ok.  Some even commented she's 'the worst athlete in Olympic'!

The Hungarian woman, Elizabeth Swaney, has recently become a celebrity because she has been able to compete in the Pyeongchang Olympic Women Freestyle Ski Halfpipe but showed no tricks during skiing.

Being 'unremarkable' in skiing. but Elizabeth Swaney actually shines at other areas. She not only got a master's degree in Harvard but also used to sign up to participate in the governor of California by-election at 19.

To prevent falls, Swaney decided to safely complete the competition with simple skills. She only got 31.4 points and 30 points in the first two round, compared with top players of 80 to 90 points.

"I actually did three tricks." Swaney said: "when hear someone say I didn't do it or only one special skill, I feel strange. Besides, I can do as the Ski World Cup top star of high levels, but I haven't been able to comfortably do it in the snow, and I always strive for the best performance in the game. In the past two years, I have attended the Ski World Cup but just failed to have the best performance at the Olympics."

Shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt's $50.75 million, eight-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers includes escalators that could raise the value by $10 million if he repeatedly finishes high in MVP voting and the team exercises its two options.

Pratt, who has yet to play in the major leagues, gets a $3 million signing bonus as part of the deal announced Friday.

His contract calls for salaries of $2.5 million this year, $3.5 million in 2027, $4 million each in 2028 and '29, $5 million apiece in 2030 and ’31, $10.75 million in 2032 and $13 million in 2033, according to details obtained by The Associated Press.

Milwaukee has $15 million options for 2034 and '35, and each option would increase by up to $5 million: $2 million for winning a MVP award, $1 million for finishing second or third in the voting, $500,000 for fourth or fifth, and $250,000 for sixth through 10th.

He would earn award bonuses of $200,000 for each All-Star selection or Gold Glove award.

Pratt, who received a $1.35 initial signing bonus as a sixth-round draft pick in the 2023 amateur draft, is rated as the No. 51 prospect by Baseball America and No. 62 by MLB Pipeline. He hit .238 with a .343 on-base percentage, eight homers, 62 RBIs, 31 steals and 67 walks in 120 games with Double-A Biloxi last season.
