Najboljša smučarka vseh časov, ameriška zvezdnica Mikaela Shiffrin, je obelodanila žalostno vest, da se je poslovil dolgoletni televizijski komentator Dan Hicks. Preminul je po kratki bolezni v 64. letu starosti.
It’s shocking and heartbreaking to hear that Dan Hicks has passed. 💔 Dan Hicks called every one of my Olympic races, from Sochi to Cortina, and his voice is etched into every one of those memories. He was professional, and impactful. He was always prepared and always let the moment shine. Ski racing was so lucky to have him. Sending all my love to Hannah, their girls and the @NBCOlympics family. "Just get to the line." I'll hear his voice shouting that forever. Thank you, Dan.🙏

Mikaela je pretresena in je na družbenem omrežju zapisala: "Šokantno in srce parajoče je bili izvedeti, da je Dan Hicks preminil. Dan Hicks je komentiral prav vsako mojo olimpijsko tekmo, od Sočija do Cortine, in njegov glas je vtisnjen v vsak spomin na te dogodke. Bil je profesionalen in je pustil močan pečat. Vedno je bil pripravljen in je znal trenutku prepustiti glavno vlogo. Smučanje je imelo veliko srečo, da ga je imelo. Vso svojo ljubezen pošiljam Hannah, njunim hčerkam in družini @NBCOlympics. "Samo pridi do ciljne črte." Za vedno bom v ušesih slišal njegov glas, kako to vzklika. Hvala, Dan."
