...piece that Malone fully showed what he was capable of, performing an Alex North tune that perfectly showcased his limpid sound reminiscent of Grant Green, coupled with evocative acoustic guitar skills.

At some point, however, the laws of probability will prevail. During the 2006 Winter Games, snowboard cross - making its rookie debut in the Olympics - was a charming hit. Without question, it's one of the more spectator-friendly events; the races are fast, unpredictable and dramatic at the finish. Since the death of luger Nodar Kumaritashvili last week, however, it hasn't been that much fun to witness such dangerous pursuits...
