...fixes proposed in your cover story to reduce head injuries in football are all worthy considerations [Feb. 8]. I have a couple more. Rugby players tackle and engage at full speed without equipment. They are taught early on not only to keep their head up but also to keep it behind the ballcarrier, not in front as American-football players do. Also, get rid of the face mask. Even more than the helmet, it provides a false sense of security. There's nothing like losing your front teeth to remind you of the correct body position in contact...
...disqualified was a miracle. And in the finals, he was ensconced in second place with two and a half laps to go. "In my head I thought the race was mine," he says. Then he slipped and fell from second to fifth but summoned the strength and speed to recover from this seemingly disastrous error, and finished third to win the bronze...
...that come in back-to-back Olympics games and medal," Ohno says. "Very, very few. For me to be able to do it three games, I'm very happy. I'm very blessed." And he's justifiably proud of Saturday's finish. "I had that big slip, lost my speed, then I saw everybody flying by me," he says of the 1,000-meter final.

...Super G, which is a shorter version of the downhill with more gates and less speed, Miller once again made good on his unmatched versatility. He notched his second medal of the Games, and gave notice that the foul-mouthed, night-clubbing iconoclast I had profiled on the cover of TIME four years ago had given way to someone more, well, let's not say mature, since we are talking about an incredibly free spirit, but a guy who came to ski rather than take on the world. "For me the legacy is the way you perform; the performance...
...winning pace of Norway's incredible Aksel Lund Svindal, who started 19th. Until Vancouver, Weibrecht's calling card was an electrifying run at the Birds of Prey downhill in Beaver Creek, Colorado, a couple of years ago that both impressed and terrified the U.S. coaching staff. Small for a speed racer (5 ft. 6 in.; 1.65m) he's made steady progress, finishing 11th at the Super G in Kitzbuehel in January. He picked a great time to step into the limelight. Svindal won the gold by covering the course in 1:30.34, edging Miller...
