Well, it just goes to show– with the Olympics, you should probably not try to predict who’s going to win. After Bode Miller was eliminated, it was commonly thought that Austria’s Benjamin Raich would win gold. I mentioned earlier today that Ted Ligety was expected to bring home bronze. Well, surprise, surpise! Ted Ligety is coming home with a medal, but it will be gold, not bronze. Congratulations, Ted!
What happened to Benjamin Raich? During one of his runs, he skied off the course and, like Bode Miller, was disqualified. With the Olympics, you just never can tell.
Gold Ted Ligety United States
Silver Ivica Kostelic Croatia
Bronze Rainer Schoenfelder Austria
