Good morning! It’s not often that the week starts with sport, but thanks to those oh so wonderful Winter Olympics, it now does. Skiing, figure skating and snowboarding on Monday mornings. You missed all that while you were sleeping.
Beat Feuz won alpine skiing. This makes him the 1st Swiss to win 2 medals in the sport. Frenchman Johan Clarey took silver at 41. He is the oldest alpine skier to win a medal in his sport.
