...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...
...resulting concert film, Neil Young: Heart of Gold, is a portrait of the folk-rock artist as an aging man, in which Demme amps up Prairie Wind's intimacy by several notches. The film makes you feel that an artist who always seemed to be standing on the other side of a milewide canyon is suddenly in your living room.

With the Vancouver-Whistler Games on the horizon, the C.O.C. views Torino as an early indicator of whether Canada...
...Mellisa Hollingsworth-Richards and Jeff Pain have dominated World Cup circuits this season; cross-country skiers Beckie Scott and Sara Renner have won seven World Cup medals; and the men's and women's curling and hockey teams are all but shoo-ins for medals, each a favorite for gold. The only question is whether the public and press can shift their attention away from Gretzky and over to the Games...
