So now of course it would be nice to get a silver or a gold medal. But I know that with one step that's not on the right side, then...
Though the racers accept the inherent dangers of their sport, some think that safety could be improved. "If the safety was in place correctly, that kind of stuff wouldn't happen," says America's Picabo Street, who won silver in the downhill at the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer and gold in the super-G at the 1998 Nagano Games.

"I sent 5,000 home to Lek's parents and 10,000 to Tip's." Conveniently ignoring the silver Mercedes parked in the forecourt outside, she repeats she makes nothing from prostitution. She's in it because she cares. She takes the girls in, puts a roof over their heads. "What can I do? I feel sorry for them. Somebody has to protect them...
