Woohoo! Finally, a gold medal for the U.S. women’s Olympic downhill team. Julia Mancuso won the giant slalom today. Julia had an interesting childhood, with a father who was in and out of prison on drug charges. The Italians love her because of her Italian heritage and often wave Italian flags while she is skiing.
Gold Julia Mancuso USA
Silver Tanja Poutiainen Finland
Bronze Anna Ottosson Sweden
