HOLY SH*T!!! This is an amazing competition. HUGE upset for Men's Downhill, a french skier, Antoine Deneriaz won the Gold medal, NO one expected him to do so well, props for him. He won by about .74 seconds, HUGE lead, and it was really really unexpected too.
Oh, and spike, croatia has Janica Kostelic, she's competing in all five alpine skiing events, and has come off a major injury and is now a major contender for multiple golds. She won four alpine medals in salt lake, and is one of the most favoured women in the alpine skiing events. The women's events will be interesting to watch, after all the hype around Bode Miller, and after he REALLY didn't deliver, I hope janica lives up to everything being said about her. The good thing is that she's not nearly as ****y as miller, so if she doesn't ski well, it wont make her look as bad.
