...fans, the week's first surprise came on a twisting, plunging course in the snow bowl at Lizum, outside Innsbruck. When she started down the course, American Skier Cindy Nelson, 20, was not sure exactly what route to take: earlier, one of her coaches had unintentionally given her the wrong line to follow, and she had completed only three of nine practice runs. Even as she hurtled down the slope, Cindy was slightly off course. "When I saw my time," said the Lutsen, Minn., native, "I thought, 'Hell, that's a fifth.' " In fact, it turned...
