Lindsey Vonn is one of the best alpine skiers in the world right now. She won her first gold medal in the downhill race, after badly bruising her shin.
There are five events in the alpine skiing discipline; this is a short description of the different events.
Day 6 was eventful. Shaun White, Shani Davis, and Lindsey Vonn won big for the United States.
Bode Miller is back on the medals stand with a bronze, Seth Westcott remains the only man with a gold snowboardcross medal, and a Swedish woman gets gold in an individual cross country event for the first time since 1968.
Ski jumping – normal hill, men’s 5000m speed skating, and women’s 7.5 km biathlon occurred early on in the day.
