And just to show the world that the years haven't sated his appetite, Batistuta bagged four goals in the second half of a warm-up game against J-League champions Kashima Antlers. O.K., so Kashima's defense isn't exactly world-class but it was good enough to neutralize, for the entire first half, a certain Hernan Crespo...

There's a sound track to snowboarding too, as each rider selects a song (from a pre-approved list) to play during his or her run, although most of the riders were listening to their own tunes.

Frankie V is a large, round and smooth man with a large, round and smooth sound. Clad in a warm-up jacket and black cords, this soft-spoken flugelhornist and trumpeter could have been mistaken for your typical garage-collection suburbanite jazz aficionado—that is, until he put mouth to valve and sang out the mournful melody of Wayne Shorter’s “Footsteps.” From then on, the lyrical and deep sound of his horn reinvented the familiar tune, revealing and reveling in an inner sadness too often missed by breezy tenor...
