...faster. And then came Norway's Lasse Kjus, .06 sec. quicker. Strobl, a personable and humorous character who in the summer months is a policeman, skied a perfect race while Eberharter made a couple of small errors. As he took in the joy of winning, Strobl said afterward, "I'm not out to beat anyone when I'm skiing. When I ski, I just want to ski well." Eberharter hid his disappointment well.
