Skier Moe isn't 'Stooge' with 1st U.S. gold medal
By John Nelson The Associated Press
LILLEHAMMER, Norway — Every 10 years, like clockwork, America wins the Olympic men's downhill.
In Sarajevo in 1984, it was Bill Johnson. Here, it was Tommy Moe.
by.05 seconds.
"I didn't even have any thoughts in my mind that I was going to win." Moe said. "I just figured, hey, I'll ski the best I can."
He did just that.
Moe, who turns 24 in three days, raced down the 3,035-meter Kvittjell course in 1 minute. 45.75 seconds yesterday, beating World Cup leader Kjetil Andre Aamott of Norway by a mere .04 seconds and dealing home-country fans a huge heartbreak.
Aamodt, the 22-year-old who won the super-giant slalom at the 1992 Winter Games, was the seventh man down the course. This, he admitted, was the gold medal he really wanted — one of the most coveted medals of the Games.
It was the closest victory margin ever in Olympic Alpine skiing. The women's downhill in 1984 and men's downhill in 1992 each were decided
"It just wasn't Aamodt's day," said a crestfallen Greta Owesel of Oslo, who sat in the front row of the finish-line stadium, waving a Norwegian flag. "It was the American's."
More than 40,000 fans turned the finish area into a real Nordic blast when Aamodt crossed the line in 1 minute, 45.79 seconds, knocking archrival Marc Girardelli of Luxembourg out of first place.
The bronze medal went to Ed Podivinsky of Canada, who finished in 1 minute, 45.87 seconds.
"I'm not really disappointed with today's second place," said Aammot,

Hockey team ties 4-4 with France
By Mike Nadel

LILLEHAMMER, Norway — After the final horn sounded, U.S. goalie Mike Dunham hung his head and stood motionless. Defenseman Brett Hauer slammed his stick against the boards.
Brian Rolston in the final 8:37.
There was a positive side for the Americans only because French goalie Petri Ylonen, who otherwise played a splendid game, misplayed long shots by Peter Laviolette and
It was a disappointing opening night for America's Olympic hockey team. It went 0-for-3 on disputed goals, 0-for-7 on the power play, handed the French three late goals and needed their generosity to salvage yesterday's 4-4 tie.
Ylonen was so angry he blew France's upset bid that he countered the reactions of Dunham and Hauer by pounding his goaltender's stick on the ice.
While Ylonen made 28 saves to Dunham's 10, the American goalie preserved the tie in the final 2 minutes with France on a power play.
Peter Ferraro put the United States up 2-1 after one and the Americans appeared to have taken a two-goal lead at 8:22 of the second when Ted Crowley's slap shot deflected off the skate of U.S. center Peter Claviglia. However, replays showed that Claviglia kicked the puck into the net and the goal was disallowed.
Later, Ferraro stuffed the puck under Ylonen's pads. But Lepaus
immediately signaled "no goal" because he had blown his whistle after losing sight of the puck when it was momentarily under the goalie.
And at 7:48 of the third, France scored short-handed. Benoit LaPorte poked the puck away from David Sacco at the blue line, and Serge Poudrier gained control at center ice to feed Pierick Maia for the 4-2 lead.
The short-handed goal merely added to the frustration of the U.S. power-playunit.

Early in the third, David Roberts coughed up the puck in front of the net to Benjamin Agnel, who lifted a shot over Dunham's right shoulder.
