Snowboarding's carefree psyche does have its faults. For instance, it might actually help to pay attention to the competition. Snowboard crosser Lindsey Jacobellis was cruising last week to the team's fourth straight snowboard gold, which would have given the U.S. a clean sweep. Her lead was so big she could have snowshoed to the finish. But on the second- to-last jump she hot-dogged it, clutching the rail of her board in mid-air, and botched the landing so badly she fell and got silver instead.

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.

After crashing in the second day of training on Monday and going to the hospital, American Lindsey Kildow made an admirable effort, placing eighth. By skipping Tuesday's session, Kildow was relegated to an unfavorable No. 31 start position. "I was OK in the warmup but I have a lot of pain in my back," she said...
...with Harvard managing only 38 points. Harvard captured the top two spots in the women’s 60-meter hurdles. Senior Mary Serdakowski took first place at 8.96 seconds, and freshman Dara Wilson came in just a hundredth of a second behind her. Freshman Becky Christensen and sophomore Lindsey Scherf also came away with top finishes for the Crimson women, winning the high jump and the 3000-meter run, respectively. On the men’s side, senior Travis Hughes defeated Matt Brock of Princeton by 0.11 meters to take the men’s long jump event. Hughes...
