Bit of an anomaly, them calling it Team Today when they keep talking
about how young this batch of skiers is - tomorrow, so to speak. GG wrote: I think folks on RSN have CONTINUOUSLY, STEADILY and SINCERELY discussed issues relating to US XC uplift and boosterism. And I bet a lot of us contribute to Team Today. |

I cheer every time the U.S. Ski Team calls me at my home and I donate
money (and I specify to direct the $$ to x-c). I hardly think posting or not posting on RSN is an indication of someone's support for the team. Just my 2 cents. |

Been checking team today every 30 minutes here, not as addicted as you
WasGitchi. Vorde and PBowen's pics are AWESOME. JK WasGitchi wrote: " "But, I am more interested in distance, not sprints." I'll be honest: me too.

hey, it's a gitchi gummi reunion!
mark, i'm checking team today every few minutes, too. i had grand schemes of posting pics and write-ups on team today after every race last week, but it didn't pan out. i'm not even coaching or waxing, but after a day of races i was feeling pretty toasted. i don't know how pete found the energy to do all that in addition to everything else. those guys are the real deal. for those of you who want more pictures, the most complete gallery is he http://www.competitiveimage.us/nordic/SWC06/index.html i think i woke up my neighbors with the screaming at 6am when i saw newell's podium on fis-ski. wish i could have been there, they deserve hoards of rowdy flag-waving fans. with newell, cook, koos, kikkan, lindsay, freeman and johnson throwing down over the next few years, we're going to have a lot more podiums to cheer about. no doubt in my mind. -phil |

I've been totally awed by the pics and web action that Pete has been
doing, during the Oly's no less. I mean, he's taking and posting great pics of his team while they're racing. They're not just snapshots either! He must be running around with armloads of stuff plus a camera, then gets to update the website frequently, too. I've been REALLY liking their new public outreach accountability style, via their website(s). They're putting the web to good use, I think. --JP |

Andy Newells 3rd was great, but
1) Sprints are new, just like skating was new when Koch was doing well, just like mountain biking was new when the Americans dominated. 2) Post Olympics, alot of people just seem to drag for the rest of the season. 3) The fact that the race was in China may have played a role. Im not trying to knock Andy's achievement, I just want to see what happens next year, particularly in Sapporo. |

"Im not trying to knock Andy's achievement..."
