We're celebrating, too. Here's to Ted Ligerty! We were on the course watching his smoking second run. He just killed it to win the combined. The Americans should have been one and two. Bode posted the top downhill run and then smoked the first run of the slalom only to be disqualified.

The course was lit brighter than SBC/Pac Bell Park in San Francisco. Dick, Jeff, and Johnnie course slipped all the men's combined courses under the lights. Slipping a slalom is like standing back of second base during the World Series. You can almost touch the racers as they fly by.



We're having so much fun. These Swiss fans are crazy. More beer!      --By Banfields, Holbrook, and Rouses
