Official Sochi Winter Olympics thread

Time to get this thread back on track - upcoming we have Mens Super-G (2/15) and Giant Slalom (2/18)

Blast from the past and favorite from my generation - Hermann Maier (Austria). After this fall in downhill @ Nagano (1998), got right back up and won gold in SG and GS, days later.

A Blast from the Further Past. . .when real men used real skis at least 14 feet long and a different colored strip on your sweater was considered trendy.

Jean-Claude Killy-Triple Gold Medalist, (Alpine skiing only offered three) Grenoble Olympics, 1968.

Tommy Moe at Lillehammer is still my fave (I like to say fave instead of favorite).

New rule: No winter Olympics in subtropical climates and surrounding mts. The snow is absolute shit and it's 45 degrees half the time.
