Name: Password: A New Olympic Sport? By Rod Mar, The Seattle Times Photo by Rod Mar/Seattle Times One of the best parts about covering an Olympics is the camaraderie that exists among the shooters. At the end of any night, you can look around at your peers, and after the subject of "anyone up for a drink or a bite to eat?" comes, "what are you covering tomorrow?" And the answer to that on any given day might be, "downhill", "ski-jumping", "speed-skating", or "aerials". It's a good thing no one asked me the night before my most unusual assignment of the games. I woke up before dawn to catch a media bus to park city, where we bribed a bus driver to drop us off at a resort called "the canyons" where I was the only photographer with a small group of reporters to cover.... Shovel racing.

Home News Sports Business ... Telander Coward White now out to reduce her time May 21, 2004 BY RICK TELANDER SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Kelli White man, does she have a body. Delts by Bowflex. Abs by U.S. Steel. Quads by Zeus. It's funny to discover the sculpted, now-disgraced 2003 world champion in the 100 and 200 meters goes only 5-4, 135 pounds. The muscle machine who draped herself in the American flag after those historic double wins at Stade de France in Paris looked so much bigger in her skintight running suit. Guess that's what drug-assisted, ultra-low body fat and ultra-high definition can do for a woman. White finally was busted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Wednesday and suspended for two years from all track competition. Actually, what happened was that White finally decided to stop lying and admitted what had been alleged for some time, and even documented by recent evidence: that she has taken performance-enhancing drugs to get to the top. She is part of the BALCO laboratory federal investigation, the one that keeps unwinding like a rolling ball of string. BALCO came up with a new designer steroid called THG a while back, and combined with a who's-who client list of renowned athletes and a total lack of moral compunction, the shuttered company has become the epicenter of the drug scandal that threatens the dimming integrity of not only Olympic sports, but major-league baseball and the NFL.

Alpine skiing Biathlon Bobsled Cross country skiing ... E-mail a copy of this story Lightning fast luge By Brady Snyder Deseret News staff writer The analogy is how Olympic hopeful Ashley Hayden describes her sport. It is that helpless moment you experience during the split-second after you realize you're falling backward. Deseret News graphic Luge primer Requires Adobe Acrobat. Take that half-second, multiply it by 90 and you'll sample a 5-second run at Utah Olympic Park, home to Olympic luge competition during Salt Lake's 2002 Winter Games. Luge, an Olympic sport since 1964, requires competitors to lie prone, feet first, and then propel themselves down a steeply inclined ice track. The sport is known for speed and close competition. It's the only Winter Olympic event measured to the thousandth of a second. In a sport that's the fastest among Olympic sports and is akin to free-falling, it would seem like mental toughness is less important than a simple reckless disregard of fear. But luge, it turns out, is more mental than would be expected.
