...have raced against and with each other in Alberta since childhood days. "I said to Sara when we were finishing our warmup today, 'We've come a long way baby,'" said Scott, who almost retired after winning a gold medal in Salt Lake City, and almost certainly will stop ski racing after this World Cup season. "To finish it with an Olympic medal...well, I'm not going to say it's surreal," Scott said. "We promised each other that we wouldn't get to get too fruity at the end of this...
...Brydon, 25, will ski the combined on Friday and Super-G race on Sunday. So far, though, what shaped up as a breakout season has proved mostly disappointing, causing her to wonder about continuing as a ski racer. ?If I go, I go for four years to 2010, and I?m not sure I want to do that,? she said. ?I feel like I?d give it all I have; on the other hand, there?s more out there in life. There are other things I want to do. But I don?t want to go out a loser...
...find a welcoming Olympic team makes the cut. Greece's national bobsled and skeleton teams include at least two Canadians and three Americans with dual citizenship, but they still didn't qualify for the Games. Austrian skier Josef Strobl had no chance to penetrate his country's talent-deep ski team. So Strobl, who had a Slovenian great-grandfather, tried for a spot on Slovenia's team - but didn't make that, either. The Olympic dream fuels the nation-hopping.

Style-wise, the latest Thump is a sleeker version of its predecessor: it takes inspiration from Oakley's Gascan range of sunglasses, and features a graphics-free, black iridium finish that will look as good on the street as it does on the ski slope or the beach. Another improvement is the way the tiny, dual-joint speakers can be made to pivot in six directions instead of two, allowing the wearer to position them at almost any angle. Operationally, the Thump 2 is a breeze, coming with a USB cable that lets...
...another weekend and another ninth-place finish for the Harvard alpine and nordic ski teams. Competing on Friday and Saturday at the Dartmouth Skiway in Hanover, N.H., and the Craftsbury Ski Center in Craftsbury, Vt., the Harvard took ninth at the Dartmouth Winter Carnival, finishing in that position for the third time in three events this season. Vermont won the carnival, posting 815.0 points to overcome second-place Middlebury College (788.0) and the Big Green (747.0). The Crimson finished with 256.0 points, tallying just over half the score of eighth-place St. Lawrence (504.0). Harvard’s best events...
