...Games must go on, and with Canada's men's hockey team having righted a Nagano wrong by winning the gold medal in 2002 in Salt Lake City, the focus in Torino--pre-Gretzky, anyway--was supposed to shift at least slightly to the rest of the country's Olympic athletes. The C.O.C. is challenging its skiers, skaters and sliders to lift Canada to third place overall at this year's Games, up from fourth in Salt Lake City. With the Vancouver-Whistler Games on the horizon, the C.O.C. views Torino as an early indicator of whether Canada...
...first big win for Canada came Saturday evening, when 5-ft. 3-in. Jennifer Heil of Spruce Grove, Alta., won the women's freestyle moguls competition, thereby refuting, for the moment anyway, Rudge's remark that Canadians tend to gag "on the big day." Under bright lights accented by the moonlit sky at Sauze d'Oulx, top-ranked Heil performed a 360 off the first jump and her trademark backflip with iron cross (skis crossed, tips down) off the second.

...Islam and Denmark's 200,000 Muslim residents.

Fatih Alev, an imam in Copenhagen, says he "wasn't particularly incensed" when he saw the cartoons...
...touch it at all?” Du said after the fact. “I thought I just hit the crossbar.” Post-game opinions differed, and so he concluded with a smile, “a little mis-aim there.” No matter, anyway. Teammate Jon Pelle sealed the game-winning one-timer 1:46 into the extra frame, and Du still had a hat trick to savor, a goal in every regulation period of the Crimson’s 5-4 win. “I’ve been a little snakebit...
...season.At the first practice in the fall, Princeton coach Joe Scott doesn’t really recognize anyone, but it doesn’t alarm him, since he never truly recognized anyone but Andre Logan, Will Venable, and Judson Wallace off last year’s team anyway. So, he proceeds unfazed, even though Luke Owings, Noah Savage, and Scott Greenman seem to be playing a cruel prank on him by only answering to Matt, Jeremiah, and Allan, respectively.Finally, Dragutin Kravic and Dalen Cuff realize that they can’t pretend to be Kyle Koncz and Edwin Buffmire when...
