Goofy or not, the shredders, long the muskrats of the mountain to the stately Alpine skiers, saved American pride on the snow during the first week of the Olympics. Bode Miller proved better on the dance floor than the slopes, finishing a disappointing fifth in the downhill, getting disqualified in the combined after taking the lead and not finishing the super-G. Lindsey Kildow wishboned her skis during a terrifying practice-run crash in the women's downhill and was air-lifted to a hospital in Torino. Miraculously, she raced two days later but finished eighth. Only the surprise winner...

Although in typical Miller fashion, he wasn't POed. "I didn't protest. It's all totally out of my hands, you just deal with it... I have straddled probably more...
...need to, Bode, because Ted Ligety will make the trip for you. Up and comer Ligety, aka "Ligety Split", blew away the field with a sizzling second run to bring home the first Alpine gold for the U.S., making up more than 3 seconds from his slow downhill time...
...Bears opened with a decision win in which Matt Gevelinger defeated freshman Wesley Walker, 8-6. Freshman Louis Caputo (184 lbs.) put Harvard on the board with a major decision against Branden Stearns. Brown then recorded a win at 197 lbs. against sophomore Joseph Bechtold, but junior tri-captain Bode Ogunwole, ranked seventh in the nation, answered with an 8-3 decision win in the heavyweight class.The Crimson forfeited the bout at 125 lbs. before Preston (133 lbs.) scored a major decision against Dan Appello, and junior tri-captain Max Meltzer, ranked 15th in the nation, followed with another major...
