So which skiers suffered?
Nodar Kumaritashvili obviously paid the ultimate price (RIP) but who else suffered?
The French girl who fell after 10m and injured her knee?
Mancuso being yellow flagged?
Benni Raich 5/100 sec away from a medal? (or was there a closer result?)
Svindal in the combined practically giving Bode Gold instead of Silver?
Your nominations please ......

DB, I feel really sorry for Benni Raich - didn't he end up 4th in more than one event? And always by infinitesimal amounts, not that the Austrian Press will see it that way. I think he is leading in the World Cup this season because he has not won many races but is always up there in just about every single race he competes in. He is Mr Consistent and delivers over the long term rather than the odd flash of genius and skiing out in the majority of races.
Isn't he also carrying quite a nasty back problem as well?
Felix Neureuther is another I have a lot of sympathy for - mother called Golden Rosi (Rosi Mittermaier double Gold medal winner in 76?), father Christian Neureuther (numerous WC wins etc) The German media think that he should be winning just because of his parents!!!! It is no wonder he does not seem to be able to take the pressure of expectation. Both Mum and Dad have re-invented themselves to maintain high levels of media exposure, making it even harder for Junior!

Samerberg Sue,
Benni came 6th rwice and 4th once. Yes he's had back problems at Christmas but I'm unsure if the injury is still affecting his results.
You think Felix has it hard, wait until Raich and Schild have kids

Samerberg Sue, when I much younger (and even more potty about skiing, though I still am) I aquired as many old, second hand, library sale etc ski books as I could get my hands on. One of them was by Rosi & Christian. Its technical skiing advice was interspersed by autobiog bits from the both of them, which were fascinating and a great read. Great couple.
When I first saw Nereuther on the world cup I wondered if he was their child... was thrilled to know he was. I hope he does really well and the media shouldn't pressure him too much!!
