I live in the northwest, get down to punk music, and cook a lot of food.

half a second difference between 1 and 5. may as well just draw lots.

Shiffrin wins gold. If she learns to handle the speed events she could dominate for years.

Oh BTW....youngest women ever to win an Olympic slalom.

Isn't she 18? I would think she won't be hitting her physical peak as a skier for a few years.

There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth in Ramaschlamadingdong Austria.

I put the words "as a skier" in my post for a reason. But alas, to no avail.

A great performance from a rising star:

At the Sochi Winter Olympics USA Ski Team member Mikaela Shiffrin (born March 13, 1995) became 'the youngest woman ever to win the gold' ... in the slalom.

reading The Times again, are we Howard?

Did the same lunatic design the women's Slalom course as the Men's? Will there be some payback in Korea in 2018?

Not being a skier, I only casually listened during the Olympics. Now, a lot of people are talking about it. What were the issues with the course? How would someone extract "payback"?
