...David R. Nelson, professor of Physics is widely regarded as a leader in the physics of condensed matter and glass...
...Actually, the entire women's team appears less robust than its regimen. At various boot camps from Hawaii to New Zealand, karate and pro football have been mixed into the exercises (Green Bay Packer Del Rodgers was a drill instructor). With the exception of three-time Olympian Cindy Nelson, a bronze-medal winner in 1976, they are extraordinarily fit. Nelson crashed a gate at Val d'Isere, France, last month and tore the ligaments in a knee. She returned to the U.S. immediately and has been working furiously to recover...
...Nelson still hopes to be ready hi two weeks. "You have to be healthy and lucky," says Phil Mahre, who is near the end. "This is my last year. I'll still be connected with skiing, but I'd like to venture out and try something else." He expects to miss the excitement at the starting gate, the camaraderie hi the finish area and "even getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning." McKinney says, "It can't come together and it can't be good unless you're having a good time...
They may be the last real madmen as well. Lyle Nelson, 34, devotes himself to exasperating events that combine grueling cross-country races with marksmanship.

Trying to steady on a target with a heart beating 200 times a minute from skiing is, says former U.S. Coach Art Stegen, "like a high jumper running a 5,000-meter race as an approach...
...Nelson, an erratic performer during his early days in the event, temporarily left the sport two years ago to develop his own sport-promotion business. "When you spend ten hours a day doing one thing," says the resident of Serene Lake, Calif, "there's not a lot left for finances, family or social life." But the competitive fire never died. The oldest member of the team returned this year with renewed dedication, fine-tuning his skis and firing 6,500 practice rounds. He continued rigorous training even when his father became terminally ill. "I'd like...
