Polish Skier Finishes Downhill Race On A Single Ski
Pawel Babicki finished 67th out of 67 competitors at a downhill race last week in Bormio, Italy. He trailed eventual winner Dominik Paris by 36 seconds, which is all the more impressive considering that Babicki lost his left ski before the halfway point of the famous Stelvio downhill run....

He'd spent his career...

Reconsidering Bode Miller
To Winter Olympics naysayers, there is no bigger symbol of the event's waste and piffle than Bode Miller, the much hyped U.S. skier who was on the cover of seemingly every national magazine yet came away from the Games without a single medal. Hell, he barely even finished a race....
Bode Miller Completes The 0-fer
Mercifully, it is over. The Nike marketing blitz, the ever-present stubble, the brooding stare designed to say, "Yes, ladies, I am that deep"... all gone.
