...weekend looming, the markets would be closed for nearly four days straight! Suffice it to say that by Monday, I've managed to work myself into a bit of a tizzy. There's no doubt about it: I'm in desperate need of a fix, an opportunity to score some quick, speculative cash...
...team within one match of the national title, but it would be a tough win. Trinity won at No. 5--beating Harvard senior Jeff Blumberg, who was slightly injured with shin splints--and No. 7--over junior David Beitchman--in a tough five-game match to tie the score at four and bring the championship down to the ninth match...
...Sapporo who had never won a major competition and had finished only 11th in the first of her two runs, bumped and jangled over the women's moguls course. Then she just stood there and, with an air of excited surprise, watched champion after champion fail to beat her score.

The strain on his body became all too evident during the crucial 4.5-min. free skate on Saturday. (The free skate counts for two-thirds of a competitor's final score.) Kulik won the gold with an effortless show, and Stojko was forced to settle for silver, as he did in Lillehammer. Except this time the Canadian hobbled to the medals podium in pain, hugged his rival and went straight to the hospital for treatment...
