Jamaican team to miss Olympics
Jamaica's bid to get its four-man bobsled into the Winter Olympics appears to have failed. The tiny island nation, which created a stir in 1988 at the Calgary Games with its first bobsled team, has failed to qualify a sled for Vancouver. At this point, another nation must drop out in order for the Jamaican bobsled team to make the Games.
Lange driving for hat trick in Vancouver
German veteran Andre Lange will park his bobsled for good when the lights go out on the Whistler Sliding Centre later this month, and few would bet against him walking off with a pocketful of gold. The 36-year-old will start as favorite to become the first man to win three consecutive Olympic titles in the four-man bobsled competition.
Hurdling from the Super Bowl to sliding
A track and football star at the University of Tennessee, Willie Gault qualified for two Olympic teams as a hurdler and was a wide receiver for the Super Bowl XX champion Chicago Bears. In 1988, he competed at the Calgary Olympics on the U.S. bobsled team. Gault, in New York to run at the 103rd Millrose Games, talks about his bobsledding days.
Canada names bobsled team
Veteran driver Pierre Lueders, who will be returning for his fifth Winter Games, and Torino fourth-place finisher Helen Upperton were among the 12 athletes named to Canada's Olympic bobsled roster on Wednesday. The Vancouver Games host nation will look to win its first bobsled gold since Nagano in 1998.

The rapid road to recovery
The last time I checked in my recovery from shoulder surgery was spot on. My range of motion was good, my strength was returning, and it looked like my AC joint separation was just a bump in the road. Then the X Games rolled into town.

The Games are finally here!
It is finally here. Crazy how you work and prepare for an event for so
long and then all of a sudden it arrives. I am on my way to Vancouver
for my second Olympic Games.

Whistler's calm before the Games
The last few days since my arrival have been lovely. There is the last-minute hustle and bustle that is to be expected, and everyone has been delightful and easy to work with. I now have my uniform and credential, and all is good.
