Slovenia and Switzerland

Well, THIS was worth getting up at 3 in the morning for... and not just because of the woman who came in a couple of seconds out of the lead, placing low, but who kept cheering, then went up to the camera and said, "I'm proud of myself!"

**SPOILER ALERT**

Thirteen one-hundredths of a second is almost nothing. But ZERO hundredths of a second IS nothing! The temperatures have been above freezing every day, wreaking havoc with all of the snow sports (ask Shaun White). They tried to fix the women's downhill course by sprinkling some sort of salt that flash-freezes the snow on it, but everyone is having trouble with the sun and shade and the texture(s) of the snow. A few wipeouts, one of them really bad. And with all of these variables, and the fact that they had different times on the hill and took different lines down, the skiers from Switzerland and Slovenia are TIED, at 1:41.57. ZERO one-hundredths of a second. And not just tied — tied for first. Tied for Gold medals, the first ever tie for Gold in an Alpine event.
