I think the French got something the first day, too -- it made big news because they weren't expecting anything.

I have never yet tried luge, but a lifelong ambition of mine is to do the Cresta Run . Its not likely to happen though.

I have always been a fan of Kalle Pallander from Finland because of the way that he just enjoys skiing and everything else in his life.
Sadly he has missed the whole season due to a horrific lower leg injury, and will miss the Wotld Cup too.

I was watching the women's slalom this afternoon and wondered if all the French skiers kept falling down because they knew the President was present. Or maybe they just couldn't ski.
