Did you know that the only new sport in the 2010 Winter Olympics is Skier Cross?

Check out this video of USA athlete Casey Pucket, a favorite to win the event:

I'm looking forward to seeing Daron Ralves again.

There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad equipment.

Good story.  It will interesting to see if the 'wiley old veteran' can come through.

Is skier cross a full medal event or a demonstration event like freestyle was when it was introduced at the Calgary games?  Someone in the video calls it a full medal event, but just because they add it to the games doesn't mean it's a full medal event.
