It’s so fun to see her ski when she’s this good

Agreed. You're just constantly left wondering where she's finding the time when her style actually looks way less active and slower.

Kostelić used to ski like this, just slow gliding through the turns, and it just looks so clean, and it's deceptively fast

You mean Janica, right? Because Ivica I would not equate to slow gliding haha.
Although I was very young when they were still active, so memory might be a bit foggy.

Janica was always, Ivica had one season of glory that was magnificent.
