Hirscher held off 2 mad Frenchmen in the combined.
Svindal didn't start the slalom portion. :sad:

Poor Ligety .. doesn't look like he can recapture the magic.
Bryce Bennet is new age Moose Barrows .. :wink:

Killington's adopted sweetheart defends her medal tonite :like

Apparently, snowboarding's only redeeming quality is USA Gold. :lol:

But I could do without him disrespecting the United States flag. Unless dragging it on the snow isn't as bad as dragging it on the ground. (sorry, should I of switched this reply to the political forum? Too much time on my hands during this "groomer week" I guess, Think Snow!)

Political forum is fake news.
Though .. Pence left the venue once White dropped to a knee.

Sooner or later we'll see some alpine skiing.
The rest of this stuff is Xgames material.

Shiffrin wins GS!

Nice to see far more snowboard and ski coverage in this Olympics than any I can ever remember. Even the Men's DH, where there was no strong American contenders, they showed a ton of the runs.
