Top Ten Olympic US Ski Team Excuses.

With one exception our ski team did not do too well at the Turin Olympics.
Here were some of the excuses heard.

* 10.) Those Atomics passed up by the Austrians were rigged!
* 9.) What? Miller time meant it was time for Bode to ski and not to have a

It's either a troll or it's just more proof to support the fact that I
need to stop reading and posting to this NG because it's gonna cause me
to go insane.

No troll its called humor.

Now, I am with the majority in the NG here. The Steven Skidders heaping it
on the US Ski team for its less than podium dominating preformance don't
know what they are talking about. They are clueless of World Cup skiing
that rewards consistently good skiing over one or two exceptional
performances.

Being on any competitive Olympic Ski Team is a sign of excellence being on
the Olympic podium is a sign of luck, being a World Cup winner is above and
beyond the Olympic podium.

Maybe he's of the opinion folks of Babe Didrikson's gender can't be real
Olympians?
