I re-watched Cool Runnings last night and discovered that Al Trautwig was a bobsled commentator in 1988. Another sport impacted by the strange commentator...
Lindsey Vonn clinched her third World Cup overall title today with a win in the Super-G. This was also the 33rd individual World Cup title of her career, the most for any American. Elisabeth Goergl was second, Nadia Styger third, and Maria Riesch four. Vonn has decided to skip tomorrow's slalom. Even if the race has no implications for her, I think she would come off as a better sport if she raced.
Ted Ligety finished third in today's giant slalom, clinching the overall title. Carlo Janka won the race to clinch the overall title. Scott Macartney retired after 12 years on the US Ski team.
Lindsey Jacobellis won today's snowboard cross World Cup race in Italy.
Patti Lank's team's fortunes have changes at the US curling championship, slipping to third overall. Amy Wright's team (including the awesome Jordan Moulton) is the top seed. They will play Erika Brown's team Saturday morning for the right to advance directly to the finals. The looser will play in the semi-finals. The teams led by Mike Farbelow and 2006 Olympic bronze medalist Pete Fenson took the top two spots in the men's tournament.
