I still can’t believe that American athletes blamed their loss on their uniforms. Unbelievable.

It's the 0bama mentality. It's always someone else's fault.

Well, considering the high speed sports are predicated on aerodynamics with the winners and losers separated by tenths and hundredths of a second, and this was the first time they have worn the Under Armor suits, it could very well be a design flaw.........

I've been a lifetime follower of the alpine events, specifically, the downhill and GS......These guys are skiing a 2 mile course lasting about 2 minutes and yet the finishing times are within hundredths of a second.

What the uninformed watchers of these events aren't privy to is the equipment these skiers use and the technicians that are assigned to the skiers who's sole responsibility is to prepare their skis according to the snow and course conditions. This is indeed a science........

Races at this level are won or lost based on equipment prep............
