RINGEUBU, Norway — Diann Roffe-Steinrotter already had waited nine years. And now she had to wait another 90 minutes.
Roffe-Steinrotter erased nearly a decade of futility yesterday by winning the women's super-giant slalom at the Olympics. The victory came two days after Tommy Moe's victory in the first Alpine event, the men's downhill.
The score on the mountain now:
USA 2, everybody else 0.
"What an inspiration," Roffe-Stein-
roter said. "He skied brilliantly, and I
said, 'I can do that, too.' ... This is hot,
pretty hot."
But when she flew down the Kvift-jell course in 1 minute, 22.15 seconds, the first of 57 racers, she had no way of knowing just how hot her time was.
Starting after breakfast, she wouldn't be assured of victory until past lunchtime.
"I have to wait," she repeated as teammates, coaches and reporters tried to congratulate her.
She had not won a big race since the giant slalom at the 1985 world championships. Then, she was 17. Now, she was 26 and in her final season before retiring.
She leaned on her ski poles, her face expressionless while she watched the scoreboard. Occasionally, she chatted with a racer from another country. Some Norwegian folk singers senaded her, and a trio of guys in troll suits did a lig by the finish area.
Finally, the last skier with a chance to beat her finished, and Roffe-Steinrotter had the gold.
Two teammates lofted her onto their shoulders and paraded her around the finish area — a 5-foot-4 inch, 132-pound trophy of petulance, persistence and determination.
"I think this is the best day of my career," she said.
Svetlana Gladisheva of Russia took the silver in 1:22.44, and Isokst-Iose
ner of Italy won the bronze in 1:22.45.
Roffe-Steinrotter knew that her time might not hold on the 2,035 Kvitjell course. Still to come were defending World Cup overall champion Anita Wachter of Austria, defending Olympic super-G champion Deborah Compagnoni of Italy, German downhill star Katja Seizinger, and Bibiana Perez, another red-hot Italian.
"I was very nervous with bib No. 1," she said. "Yesterday, it was so icy I crashed, just free skiing. My stomach was killing me."
Wachter's time was 1:23.01, Safe, so far. Then came Compagnoni, skiing fifth. The 23-year-old Italian star was all over the course and had some trouble with a small jump near the bottom. Her time was 1:23.54.
Still, there was no smile on Roffe-Steinrotter's face.
Seizinger got turned around and slid backward past a gate with about 30 seconds gone in her embarrassing run. She was out. Perez sat back on
"I still have teammates at the start. I have to wait," Roffe-Steinrotter said, still refusing to accept congratulations.
her skis, lost control and blasted through a gate at about the same spot.
At the halfway timing spot, Dovzan was. 42 seconds ahead of Roffe-Stein-rotter. The crowd roared for the young Eastern European.
Pernilla Wiberg of Sweden, battling for this year's World Cup lead, came down in 1:22.67. Another bullet barely dodged, then little-known Slovenian Alenka Dovzan burst out of the gate.
A big-screen TV by the finish area showed it all. With Roffe-Steinrotter watching, Dovzan stood up on her skis and drifted off the course. In an effort to catch the American, she had built up speed she could not control. A gate flashed by her on the wrong side, and she quit, disqualified.
Finally, Roffe-Stinroter smiled.
She was a champion at last.
Hockey team satisfied in salvaging tie
By Mike Nadel
The Associated Press
GJOVIK, Norway — Less than six minutes away from a catastrophic loss that probably would have meant an end to its medal hopes, the U.S. hockey team sprang to life.
Peter Ciavglia and John Lilley scored 1:36 apart last night as the United States staged its second- straight third-period rally to salvage a 3-3 tie with Slovakia.
"A loss would have killed us. We had to get at least a point out of this," U.S. captain Peter Laviolette said. "It was a good sign of our character to come back, but we've got to come out sharper. It would be nice to come out and get a lead. Once."
In their Olympic opener, the Americans needed two late goals to rally for a 4-4 tie with 10th-seeded France.
"We must be something of a highwire act to people watching our games. It certainly is exciting and hectic," U.S. coach Tim Taylor said. "Youthful enthusiasm is one of our best weapons, and it has to be there at the start of a game. It cannot be called on in reserve at the end."
For the first time since 1984, the United States has failed to win at least one of its first two games. In '84, the Americans opened with losses to Canada and Czechoslovakia and eventually finished seventh.
"We have very high expectations," said Civiaaglia, whose team meets Canada, 2-0, tomorrow. "I don't think we're happy at all with the results and our overall play."
Nevertheless, there was a different mood after this tie than the first. American players wore smiles, and rock music blared out of the locker
room.
"Two ties are a lot better than two losses," said U.S. goalie Garth Snow, who made 30 saves in his Olympic debut. He replaced Mike Dunham, who managed only 10 saves against France. "We had to come through, and we did. Slovakia is a good team."
Laviolette said, "They are not a France or an Italy. They are one of the best teams in the world."
The Slovaks are the lowest seeds in the 12-team field only because they had to play in a qualifying tournament
they had not gained their national independence until after last year's World Championships.
Slovakia opened the Olympics by tying gold-medal favorite Sweden. Yesterday, it outshot the United States 33-18 and controlled play most of the game.
The United States had been 0-for-11 on Olympic power plays, including 0-for-4 yesterday, before Ciavaglia tipped in Mark Beafaut's goal-mouth pass with 5:37 to go to make it 3-2.
lift after former NHL star Peter Stastny was assessed seven minutes in penalties with 8:50 to play for high-sticking Craig Johnson and shoving Laviolette.
"He does a thing that has a great influence on the game," Slovakia coach Jan Mitosinka said of Stastny, who as the 17th-leading scorer in NHL history has a reputation for scoring and not slashing. "It was not intended, but it did cost the team. We are fortunate not to lose."
Trailing 3-1, the U.S. team got a big
Then, with Stastny still in the penalty box and the teams skating four-side, Lilley beat goalie Eduard Hartmann with a slap shot from the right faceoff circle. There was 4:01 left.
