How come the USSR doesn't compete in Alpine skiing. I haven't seen a Russian in any of the events, womens or mens. I know they do Nordic skiing and there are Russian biathletes, but what's going on here. Either they don't compete in them or ABC doesn't show them when it's the Russians turn to slide down the hill. Does anybody know anything regarding this?? They couldn't have beaten Bill Johnson anyway!! -- Kris Sherwin AT&T Bell Laboratories - IW
