...buyers from all over the world. The prize could be an "It" handbag with the potential to add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the bottom line, or a winning collection that elevates a designer or a brand to the top of fashion's scoreboard. This time around, gold-medal brands such as Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana squared off against more stealthy competitors such as Jil Sander and Bottega Veneta in a duel of trends that pitted the ultrasexy look of the '80s against the sober minimalism of the '90s. Sex vs. sobriety is an age-old Milanese rivalry...

Snowboarders were shredding the morning away up in the Alps, while fans down in Torino prepared to celebrate a surprise Italian gold in speedskating.

And, as one is wont to do in a desert at night, they start a massive bonfire with their instruments while dust swirls around them in slow motion. Black-clad drummer Brian Chase somehow...
...Canada and the United States, gold and silver medalists in Salt Lake City four years ago, both went out in the quarterfinals at Torino. As defending champion, Canada played the 20th Olympic Winter Games tournament as though doubled over by the weight of those expectations back home, displaying grim expressions, old legs and an impotent offense. By contrast, Russia embraced a youth-infused, why-not-us swagger, allowing its forwards to freelance and its goaltender to compensate as needed.
