THE THIN LINE: Life on the Edge Skier Biographies BODE MILLER Bode Miller burst onto the World Cup scene as an 18-year-old in 1996 and first gained widespread recognition when he won two silver medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics in the Giant Slalom and Combined events. Miller has won a total of four gold medals and one silver medal at the World Championships. In the 2004/2005 Season, Miller won his first overall FIS World Cup title, outlasting Austrian Benjamin Raich. In the 2006/07 Season, Miller finished 4th overall and won the Super G title. In May 2007, Miller announced that he was leaving the U.S. Ski Team to race as an independent. PICABO STREET One of the most prolific women’s racers to ever grace the U.S. Ski Team, Picabo Street was most definitely a ski racing personality. The native of tiny Triumph, Idaho announced her retirement from competition following the 2002 women’s Olympic downhill at Snowbasin, Utah, ending a career that included nine career World Cup victories, the 1995 and 1996 World Cup downhill discipline titles and a trio of World Championships medals to go along with her two Olympic medals, including the Super-G gold at the 1998 Nagano Games. In addition, Street collected a total of four U.S. National titles during her illustrious career, despite being injured and away from ski racing for two years.

Winter Olympic Games As a Mega
TORINO 2006: AN ORGANISATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW by Piervincenzo Bondonio and Nadia Campaniello* Working paper n.1/2006 August 2006 * Since this work was conceived and produced jointly, acknowledgement for § 4 and 8 goes to Piervincenzo Bondonio, § 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 to Nadia Campaniello and to both authors for § 1 and 9. Financial support from Fondazione CRT, Progetto “Vittorio Alfieri” is gratefully acknowledged Abstract The Torino 2006 XX Winter Olympic Games have just ended, with results that the organisers and public opinion consider satisfactory on the whole. This article is a first attempt at analysing the Games, with an emphasis on the economic and organisational aspects. The basic question is: “What kind of Games were Torino 2006?”. To provide an answer, we have analysed the reasons behind the bid, the organisational model chosen, the economic scale of the event, and provided a detailed study of the scope of the standard objections to hosting the Games. The paper therefore aims to provide a contribution to the literature (still rather limited) about the Winter Olympics, whose growing size and profile justifies the need for a more careful, broader analysis. 2 Foreword In spite of the growing dimensions of the Olympic Games (“Citius Altius Fortius”), and the huge attention the media devote to them, there is a remarkable lack of reliable and consistent economic data about them. Furthermore, researchers have focused their studies more on the Summer than on the Winter Olympic Games (WOG), still perceiving the former as more prestigious and universal (Schantz, 2006, pp.49-53), although for recent Games the cost per inhabitant is even higher for the Winter Olympics (Preuss, 2004, p.33), which are becoming ever larger in terms of absorbed resources (Preuss, 2002a, p. -
