I used to watch it all the time while Janica Kostelic ruled the sport. She broke all the records and got tired of skiing and moved to sea town - Rijeka and opened a beauty salon. She was only 24 when she retired.
I really fell in love in Winter Sports during the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. My favorite was, surprise, surprise, Bojan Krizaj
Here`s the mascot from that 1984 Olympics- Vucko (Wolfie)

Natko Zrncic-Dim 3. in super combined,well done natko,you are the king
That was the surprise. Ivica passed on this competition and noone hoped Natko to take anything. Well done
I was hoping that natko could be on podium and he was
Ivica Kostelic is the one I`m hoping to take the title this year.

We (Croatians)have just one slalom track,and we have the skier on top. Thats fenomenal
In ice hockey I am a fan of Slovakia
Ski jumping:Adam Malys and Andreas Kofler
I like Russia in ice-hockey. Although I must admit that Czechs did a great job in last few decades
Swedish skiiers are the bestIngemar Stenmark!!
i remember the duells between Anja Paersson and Kostelic, they were great!
Exactly mate. What happened to Anja? I though she would kick ass when Kostelic left?
I don't know =S I guess she has just been out of shape, that's all... her performances has been bad in quite a long time now... the latest was World Cup were she failed.
Hopefully it's just a dip... she'll be back next year... maybe she misses KostelicThey were good friends and pushed each other to perform better
:laugh: Just about 2 greatest skiiers in womens World Cup :smile:
