Just as Eberharter, the World Cup champion, had set up a nearly half-second lead, his countryman Fritz Strobl posted a time .28 sec. faster. And then came Norway's Lasse Kjus, .06 sec. quicker. Strobl, a personable and humorous character who in the summer months is a policeman, skied a perfect race while Eberharter made a couple of small errors. As he took in the joy of winning, Strobl said afterward, "I'm not out to beat anyone when I'm skiing. When I ski, I just want to ski well." Eberharter hid his disappointment well. "Everyone was expecting...
Montillet, who has won only one World Cup race - and that in super-G - flew down the Wildflower course in a time of 1 min. 39.56 sec. to beat Italy's Isolde Kostner and the pre-race favorite, Renate Götschl from Austria. Götschl gracefully described Montillet as "one of the best skiers in the world." "I am very happy for her," she said. "She is a good girl." Montillet's success against two skiers who had proved themselves in international competition with nine world and World Cup championships between them was all the more surprising, since...

...Isere, France, and then drove seven hours to Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, the next day and won a slalom event. No other American had won two events in a row since Phil Mahre in 1983. Then, in early January in Adelboden, Switzerland, Miller won a race by nearly 2 sec. It's an astonishing margin, like winning by 20 m in a 100-m dash. He has been on the winners' podium eight times this season, compared with three last season...
