Russian Danilova was disqualified from the 30-kilometer race in Salt Lake City last year after failing a drugs test, but had been allowed to keep her winner's medal from the 5k pursuit. That now goes to Canada's Beckie Scott. In a similar case, Muehlegg's gold medals go to Norwegian pair Thomas Alsgaard and Frode Estil. The German-born Spaniard was disqualified after winning the 50k event, but kept two other titles. Scott, meanwhile, makes history by becoming the first Olympic athlete to be awarded bronze, silver and gold medals in the same event. "To say I'm an Olympic gold medallist now is the greatest honor," Scott told a media teleconference from Ramsaw, Austria. "I'm just so happy that things turned out the way they did."

    Extractions: Sports Olympics Winter Olympics Through The Years The move toward a winter version of the Olympics began in 1908 when figure skating made an appearance at the Summer Games in London. Ten-time world champion Ulrich Salchow of Sweden, who originated the backwards, one revolution jump that bears his name, and Madge Syers of Britain were the first singles champions. Germans Anna Hubler and Heinrich Berger won the pairs competition. The Games resumed in 1920 at Antwerp, Belgium, where figure skating returned and ice hockey was added as a medal event. Sweden's Gillis Grafstrom and Magda Julin took individual honors, while Ludovika and Walter Jakobsson were the top pair. In hockey, Canada won the gold medal with the United States second and Czechoslovakia third. Seventy years after those first cold weather Games, the 17th edition of the Winter Olympics took place in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994. The event ended the four-year Olympic cycle of staging both Winter and Summer Games in the same year and began a new schedule that calls for the two Games to alternate every two years.

    Extractions: Prices Groups ... Winter Season Passes Excerpted from Squaw Valley USA: The First Fifty Years S quaw Valley is a special place, difficult to experience without falling under its spell. It is as if, by its very nature, the valley commands a relationship with those who set foot here. One can travel the world hiking, skiing, climbing, and exploring; Squaw Valley's beauty will still impress. Those who have been involved as team members, visitors, or "locals" proudly attest to an inexplicable connection with the valley. Many have contributed to Squaw's founding and growth. In 1946, Squaw Valley worked its magic on a young man named Alexander Cushing, who had traveled with friends to the Sierra Nevada on a four day train ride from the East Coast. Cushing, then a lawyer on Wall Street, had served in the Navy and was ready for a change. "The war turns the world upside down and I was having a hard time adjusting" he recalls. The strain of duty left him with solid impressions of life's fragility, and of the importance of living life to the fullest. So, as many have before and since, Cushing headed west. On his first day skiing at Sugar Bowl, Cushing did the "unmentionable" and broke his ankle. As the fourth at Bridge, his friends demanded he stay. Always optimistic, Cushing contented himself relaxing on the sundeck and watching other skiers. While there, he heard a young man named Wayne Poulsen speak of a nearby place with the best skiing in the country. Intrigued by Poulsen's statement, Cushing asked to see this place, and soon found himself on crutches, watching from the meadow while his friends hiked and schussed the glorious peaks of Squaw Valley.
