Goofy or not, the shredders, long the muskrats of the mountain to the stately Alpine skiers, saved American pride on the snow during the first week of the Olympics. 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. Miraculously, she raced two days later but finished eighth. Only the surprise winner...
...interior scoring, the Bears outrebounded the Crimson by five, a dramatic turnaround from the first time these two teams met, with Harvard winning the battle of the boards by 14 in that one. “We talked about having some pride tonight,” Brown coach Glen Miller said. “Harvard beat us twice last year, and they thumped us the first game [this year].

He threw himself out of the start house and quickly reached 126.48 kph-fastest on the day-at the first interval timing, slicing through the two tough turns in the upper part of the course. Nor did he make the mistake that had cost him a medal in the downhill, when he gave up too much speed in the lower section. Miller's time of 1:38.36 was .32 secs ahead of Didier...
...Miller looked certain to make that lead stand. "I came out of the downhill and I was ready to be on the podium. A few things didn't go my way. Obviously I was in position to win by a significant margin, even with poor skiing in the first run." That didn't happen either. Miller again came out with authority in his trademark "backseat" style, piling over the two bumps in the upper part of the Sestriere Colle slalom run. At the end of the run, Miller had a .97 second lead on Raich heading into the second...
