"Super G Along with Some Ski Jumping Action"




These sports are exactly the reason why I love the Winter Olympics far more than the Summer Games. There is absolutely no comparison in my mind.

I think back to growing up as a kid watching The Wide World of Sports on ABC. "The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat."

The competition today consisted of two of these sports, the Men's Super G Skiing event and the Large Hill Ski Jumping. Both of these are wild to watch and even more fun to photograph. A few samples from my experience in Lake Placid are above...
