Yea, the Olympics aren’t the pinnacle of most sporting events. This is akin to saying Pele sucks because he never won Olympic Gold.

It absolutely is the pinnacle of most (Olympic) sports. Only the big team sports aren't

Olympics are definitely big and beijing was fine regarding the conditions. But overall globes are definitely valued the highes in skiing.

I mean it is the pinnacle for her sport…it would be like if people said messi isn’t the GOAT because he hadn’t won a World Cup…which is exactly what people were saying before he won it

It’s not. Winning the World Cup is the pinnacle. Olympic gold is nice, but it’s just one event.
