Premieres Wednesday on CBS.
And we're back with the final stages of the normal hill jump, and Germany's Jens Weiss
vlog has failed to take the gold medal position.
He's currently lying second behind teammate Iditoba, and this man, Espen Bredersen, of
Norway, the leader after the first jump, is still to go in this, the last round.
And at the top of the jump, Noriaki Kasai of Japan, who did an excellent 98 meters first
time down.
There is Dita Toma, the new leader.
Kasai takes a seven-point advantage over Toma into the second round.
But remember, Toma's jumped 102 and a half meters.
It's the bottom of the hill or nothing for Kasai.
Strong at the takeoff.
Tips come hard.
Now he's there.
He's down there.
Not as far as Toma.
It's going to be close.
And Toma is down there.
And I think Weiss vlog has said he might have it, Dita, and he has got it, he has got it.
Kasai has dropped away, and Toma is still at the leader with two jumpers to go.
That's the bronze medal, and he's delighted with it, I don't think he'll possibly get
gold or silver again.
Two strong Norwegians still at the top.
Disappointed to see the Japanese fail again, but it matters.
There are two jumpers to go.
They're both from Norway, and the crowd can smell blood.
This is Lars to Orthensson now, who's jumped right out of the blue in the first jump to
a hill record of 102 and a half, a 20-year-old now aiming for gold.
This kid has to be pinching himself, let's hope they kept the smelling salts out of the
dressing room.
Skis everywhere, arms a mess.
Is he high?
Yes, Lars to Orthensson.
Downtown.
Unbelievable.
Out of nowhere.
Just like we never saw out of him in training, this kid is unconscious.
And there it is, a superb performance by the 20-year-old.
He has given the Norwegian certainly silver for himself, and with a Norwegian silver jump,
he could still have a gold medal.
There's his total, 268, and only one man can beat him now.
Skis everywhere, arms a mess.
Just like I said, it's an unorthodox style, but he was not to be denied today.
Driving with those legs, that makes a big difference.
When Vice Club was letting up a little bit, Orthensson drove right on by.
There's the board with the name of Espen Bredesen on the top, the last man to jump,
the only man that can now rob Lasse Orthensson of a gold medal, but he's got silver anyway.
Bredesen has three points on Orthensson.
There's good speed in the track.
He's a very cool season competitor, it's wide open for him.
He's got a lot of power, quiet, looks clean, looks strong, he's floating.
He is like, holy smokes, that's got Espen Bredesen.
It is 104 meters, he has gone out in style with the gold medal, he's set a hill record.
The team all around him at Norway will remember this day for sure.
Two years ago in Alderfield, dead last in this exact event, now gold medal.
And there is the new young star as well to go alongside the old hand Bredesen.
Orthensson and Bredesen walk together very proudly in front of their nation now.
Gold and silver is theirs.
Bredesen leaving nothing to chance, just lamb faced the end of this takeoff.
Nothing moves, he was so clean from the end.
Driving with those legs, just like Orthensson, but so much quieter.
Beautiful, beautiful jump, gold medal all the way.
Look how high he is coming in, reaches for the ground, knew he had it made.
Excellent jump.
They've waited a week to sing it here in the ski jump stadium.
Now they can sing, victory is ours, indeed it is, and in third place the Totova of Germany.
They are facing Bredesen.
Espen, congratulations on that last step, I didn't think you were ever going to come down.
Neither did I.
That was perfect, it was incredible for me.
The crowd here was so behind you, did that help?
Of course, everything helped me today.
I was more aggressive today and the jumping was better and everything was just perfect for me today.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
The United States team were led home by Tad Langlois in 33rd place, but it wasn't a great day out for them.
The same could not be said for the Norwegians, it was their best day for years, 30 years in fact.
That was the last time they won a gold medal in ski jumping back in 1964 when Toralf Engel scored in Innsbruck, Austria.
Today though was Norway's day and in particular that of the young man, Autusen, and the veteran campaigner, Bredesen.
They really ruled today.
For Jeff Hastings, I'm Phil Liggett saying goodbye.
At 26 years of age, Bredesen has said this is his last Olympics.

Hello everyone, I'm Tim Ryan, here for the slalom portion of the men's combined event at Hafjell.
And you know it was 11 days ago that the downhill portion took place up at Kvitpjell.
The winner will be determined by adding the downhill time to the two slalom times today.
I'm joined by two-time Olympian Andy Mill.
He knows about the downhill.
He'll tell us about the slalom.
In that event up at Kvitpjell, two Americans finished second and third, Kyle Rasmussen, Tommy Moe.
Can they possibly beat the slalom skiers to win a medal in the combined?
Well, it's going to be very difficult for them.
Kyle Rasmussen is not a slalom skier.
It hurts his back.
That's why he specializes in downhill.
On paper, he's only 100th behind, but he's going to have to really have some miracles take place for him to win a medal.
On the other hand, American Tommy Moe has been very consistent this year.
In the two combined events, he's finished fourth in both of those.
But they're going to have to beat the slalom specialists.
Two Norwegian skiers are very strong.
Lasse Schuss is the reigning world champion from last year.
And he and his teammate, Chetil Andre Omar, have finished one and two in the two previous combined.
So they're consistent, they're strong, and they're good in slalom.
So it's going to be difficult for the Americans.
All right.
Now, I know they've had 10 days to practice.
How much time have they had up there?
Well, they've been up there cutting and hacking like barbarians, but they're looking pretty good, actually.
They've been up there for about three days grinding it out.
And I think that they're going to be pretty impressive, especially Tommy.
I like his style.
His body language is strong, and he's skiing pretty good slalom.
First up will be a Slovenian, Jurij Kozir, who was 41st in the downhill portion of his combined.
His time will be added to his two slalom runs to determine his result here in the combined event.
That time running on the right is the total time of his downhill and his accumulated time so far.
With him in the slalom today, Jurij Kozir is definitely the best skier on the hill.
He typically does not race downhill, but in doing so, it's giving him a shot at this hill.
It's the same slalom hill that will be used on Sunday.
Jurij Kozir will challenge Tomba.
He will take him to the wire.
You see a couple mistakes up there. He leans inside just a little bit.
But his objective today is to win the slalom.
The overall result does not matter to Jurij.
Sixty-one gates on this course set for the first run.
He is on the bottom face heading toward the finish line, and he'll set the standard for everyone to catch.
Remember, there are many top slalom skiers in the field still to come.
There is Kozir's time, 232.40.
And the Slovenian contingent is welcoming Kozir at the finish line.
Next up, Shetil Andre Omad from Norway.
And his fans can see it on the big screen down along the finish area.
And they are excited.
He has a silver in the downhill, a bronze in the super G, but he's not happy.
He wants a gold.
Ready, go.
Well, Tim, I think the result in the giant slalom finish in 12th really rocked his confidence.
And the problem he had that day, they were thinking too much about technique and feel instead of racing.
And speaking with his father this morning, of whom is also his coach,
he said he told his son just to go out there and race today.
Forget about feel, forget about technique, you know how to do it.
Well, Omad was sixth in the downhill portion of this, so he's a legitimate contender.
And you can see he's already more than four seconds ahead of Kozir's establishing time.
Talking about technique, he's so solid and stable over his skis.
Watch his hands as they remain in front of him, center bounce over the middle of the ski.
Very solid skiing.
And this Norwegian crowd going bananas down here for Omad.
First run of two today in the slalom portion of this event.
And he's into first place handily by more than three seconds.
Gunter Maner of Austria, the 29-year-old veteran,
13th in the downhill portion of this combined event,
has been somewhat of a disappointment in these games.
Well, he started the season so strong in December, came out of the chute back in Colorado,
winning the opening giant song being told by Omad by a hundredth of a second.
Then all of a sudden in January he sort of lost his momentum.
Did not ski very well in the icy conditions throughout Europe,
but he liked this snow a little bit better.
This is more of a man-made type of snow. It's very dry, very low with water content,
so the skis can hold for certain soft field spheres.
And Maner is definitely a soft-footed skier.
Right now he's more than a second behind the leader as he approaches the final face.
The final face is very difficult because you see the rolling terrain in here,
and it's also very dark, so you not only must memorize the placement of the gates,
but where the slope is falling away and where you have the snow underneath your foot.
This is good skiing down here. Difficult conditions.
Gunter Maner of Austria to the finish line into second place.
There's the leader, Omad of Norway.
And the Austrian fans respond to Maner's performance.
Still a tough field of downhillers and slalom skiers to come.
Right now it's Omad in first place, followed by Maner and Kojir.
Maner now remembers yesterday at Lillehande.
And she is the close medalist.
Andy Turner going for the goal.

Senator David Durenberger indicted again.
The story coming up right after the Olympics.
We are back at Hopgyal, waiting the continuance of action here
in the first run of two slalom riders to finish off the combined event
as we look across at the pictogram literally cut into the forest.
Kimo backstage in the start house area, preparing for his run.
And meanwhile, it will be Lassa Shoes.
Shoes, just 23 years of age, was first in the downhill portion of this combine
and a very respectable 18th in the real Olympic downhill event.
Well, actually, that 18th wasn't up to his expectations
after finishing fourth earlier this year in Kitsville.
He's proven to the world that he's a real complete skier,
skiing all disciplines well.
In slalom this year, he's been ninth and seventh.
In giant slalom, he was fourth in the overall World Cup GS standings last year,
which shows me and to the skiing world that one day,
this guy will vie with Omot for the overall title.
Well, he makes a good point about that Kitsville result.
He won the combine there as well.
And he's seven tenths ahead of his teammate Omot.
Well, he's a big, strong, powerful skier, but in the same breath,
he's got a nice, soft feel on his foot.
You notice he's not really hammering the edges,
but he's nice and tight on the gates, very clean and compact.
No extra movements.
These are the final gates coming to the finish line.
The Norwegian fans cheering for him.
They've got Omot in first already.
Juice could catch him.
He's very fast down here, and he is by more than a second.
Absolutely flying down the bottom, and they love him here.
One and two at the moment.
In the start house will be the Swiss skier Paul Ackala
in 24th place after the down hill.
He's really been struggling, Tim.
Two years ago, he was the overall World Cup champion,
but he had a knee surgery last December,
two sprained ankles this year,
having a hard time trying to find his way,
and actually the injuries are getting in his way.
He's been skiing quite well over the last couple of weeks,
though, Tim, because he knew that he had to qualify
for the giant slalom and slalom portion of the Olympic Games,
and this has sort of gotten his head back in racing mode,
if you will.
At least two seconds behind the leader,
as he heads toward the bottom of the slalom floor.
You can see him skidding a little bit on the top section,
coming over the knoll, a little up and down too much,
and when you do that, it has a tendency to knock the edge loose.
Not refined slalom skiing here.
Akla won seven races two years ago.
He's struggled since then to get back to form,
trying to do it in these Olympic Games,
and he's in the third place, but nearly two seconds behind.
Another slalom run to follow for Akla,
but also many very strong slalom and downhill racers.
Well, as we ride our cable cam back up to the start house,
let's go up and join Billy Kitt.
There's been a lot of talk about the 11-day gap
between the two races and the combined event.
As a matter of fact, Tommy Moe is another year older
since the downhill,
but I think that that time gap can work to his advantage.
In 1970, when I won the combined at the World Championships
in Val Gardena, it was a similar time gap,
and I think it worked to my advantage.
Tommy has had time to train, but especially to prepare mentally,
and believe me, the only time gap he's thinking about
is the one from start to finish.
All right, Billy, of course, Tommy Moe turned 24
the day he won silver in the Super G.
The Norwegian team calls themselves the attacking Vikings.
Here's Harald Strand Nielsen.
He is one of the youngsters.
Homad at the bottom, watching him.
I didn't attack enough. I was very passive.
I didn't approach the course in the right way.
So in the head, I was just very bad.
So Homad's still unhappy with his work in these games,
despite two medals.
22-year-old Harald Christian Strand Nielsen.
But, Tim, I think it's ludicrous if this event takes 11 days to complete.
We're talking to the other skiers and coaches.
We all feel that the downhill should be held in the morning
and win a one-run slalom in the afternoon.
Let's get this thing over with in one day.
Great idea. I think you've got a lot of support for that.
Nielsen, of course, not thinking about that at this moment.
The youngster from Jovik trying to challenge the leader.
Well, Nielsen's a great skier,
and the other athletes on his team have been a barometer for him.
He knows that if he can beat them in training,
he can beat them on race day.
And he's been skiing very well,
but it's also been difficult to live in their shadow.
But that can also inspire you, Tim.
He's more than two and a half seconds behind.
Of course, he was not up among the downhill leaders,
so he has to have two outstanding slalom runs to contend.
And he's picking up some time here on the bottom face.
Nielsen, the young Norwegian, in the fifth place,
two and a half seconds behind,
but still in contention with another slalom run to follow.
American Tommy Moe, the gold medalist in downhill,
silver medal in Super G.
He's coming up next.
And a goodly number of American fans on hand here to cheer him in.
It's like there's one particularly vocal Moe fan.
Ready, go.
Let's not forget that Tommy was fourth
in two previous combined events this year.
In order for Tommy to medal, he must have two perfect runs for Tommy.
Now, perfect is a relative term,
but if he skis solid and fast, he's definitely got a shot at it.
Tommy Moe says he's only been on slalom skis five or six days
over the whole season, plus a couple of more training for this event today.
But we've heard that he's actually spent a little bit more time
on the slalom boards than that.
Now, nine tenths behind the leader shoots.
Well, that just shows you what kind of a skier he is.
Very good, adapts extremely well to the short skis.
Notice his hands are always out in front of him.
He blocks the fall with the outside hand, cross-locking, very difficult.
This is a modern ski technique.
And at the downhill, I am really impressed with how he's skiing today.
Really, no mistakes can start all the way down to the bottom now.
Tommy Moe to the finish line, not too bad at all.
In the third place, that's where he started after the downhill.
If that holds up, he'll be in great shape going into the second slalom run.
His teammate, Kyle Rastusen, was second after the downhill.
Kyle himself has only skied about five days of slalom this year,
but it's also interesting to see the evolution of Kyle as a skier.
When he was younger, he won five Junior National Slalom and Giant Slalom titles,
but due to a chronic back problem, he started to specialize in downhill,
which is easier for him.
Well, he's going hard and well here so far.
Rastusen, who was second after the downhill.
Well, Kyle is inside. Trouble there for Rastusen.
And he'll hike back up here in order to get a second run.
Tim, in training the other day, I was asking him if he makes mistakes,
typically what are they?
And he says, well, I get my left hand back sometimes.
And that's exactly what he does here.
He rotates, spins out, throws the ski sideways,
and obviously he's out of the course.
Well, his hiking effort back onto the course will qualify him for a second run,
albeit from way back in the pack.
Until the standings after the first run.

Louis Gossett Jr. guest stars when Picket Fences returns next Friday.
Welcome back, everyone.
The biathlon is a unique Olympic test.
It requires its athletes to ski as fast as they can,
then to stop, calm their hearts, and fire a rifle at a distant target.
Al Troutwig has the story of today's 4 by 7.5 kilometer biathlon relay.
You don't need to know anything about biathlon to know Simone Greiner-Pettermem was hurting.
Her German relay team had a big lead until she started missing, and missing, and missing.
12 of her 16 shots failed to turn the black target's white.
You can almost see the tear in her eye knowing the Russians were taking her gold,
and that her teammates suddenly had to deal with silver,
and she had to deal with being the reason why.
Things I just can't understand. I don't know.
She doesn't know what happened. She cannot tell him.
Losing in an Olympics is something that can haunt an athlete for life.
For a while it appeared Simone would forever look at her silver medal as a symbol of defeat,
but soon after she joined her teammates and smiled through the tears.
Maybe she realized, you don't lose a silver medal, you win one.
The U.S. team incidentally finished eighth out of 17 teams.
Today marked the final Olympic event in speed skating, the women's 5,000 meters at the Viking ship in Hamar.
Germany's Gunter Neumann, a double gold medalist two years ago,
was hoping to rebound from disappointing performances in the 1500 and the 3000.
But teammate Claudia Pechstein, a 22-year-old no one expected to win,
stole the race, slashing 19 seconds off her personal best in the event.
Neumann took the silver.
Both hockey semifinals were played today, and in the first it was undefeated in untied Finland
against the 1992 silver medalist from Canada, and the Canadians will again play in the gold medal game.
They defeated Finland 5-3.
For the championship, Canada will meet Sweden 4-3 winners over Russia tonight at Hockens Hall,
and you will see that gold medal game right here on CBS Sunday morning, live at 9 a.m. Eastern time.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m., you can see Russia and Finland play for the bronze medal
on our Olympic weekend broadcast.
Last night in Hamar, while the figure skaters were off, the Northern Lights Hall belonged to short track speed skating.
America's Kathy Turner successfully defended her Olympic title in the 500 meters,
but Turner's triumph was not without controversy.
She was accused of interference in this quarterfinal
when Canada's Nathalie Lambert collided with her and was eliminated.
Then, in the final, Turner and China's Zhang Yanmei brushed each other.
Zhang took the silver but was extremely upset afterwards.
Today, Lambert, among others, accused Turner of unsportsmanlike conduct.
Chargers Kathy Turner refuted.
She is very rough. She's a little dirty, but she always gets away with it, so why would she change?
China and Canada were favored because I haven't been skating,
and I beat them both and they're very upset about it.
It was the worst display of poor sportsmanship I've ever seen in my life.
She should get her medal taken away, if you ask me.
Turner skates again tomorrow and has promised that she will win her third Olympic gold medal in the 1,000 meters.
Yesterday in Lillehammer, in the finals of the women's aerials,
Lena Cheryosova of Uzbekistan gave her country its first ever Winter Olympic medal.
Nice thing about it? It was gold.
What Cheryosova didn't know was that her mother, shown here with Lena last fall,
had died three weeks earlier back home.
Lena learned of her mother's death only last night when she wanted to share the news
of her gold medal victory with her family back home.
The Uzbekistan Olympic Committee had decided to withhold word of her mother's death from Lena
until after the Olympic competition.
Distraught after the competition, Lena was obviously unable to enjoy her triumph.
Coming up next, we head back to the slopes of Hapyal.

I don't want you to be no slave.
I don't want you to work all day.
But I want you to be true.
And I just want to make love to you.
Love to you.
See you tomorrow.
1130.
Was I surprised when my dentist told me I had a tardive problem?
Doctor, I said, I brush with baking soda and peroxide.
He said, those aren't tartar fighting ingredients, so your teeth aren't as clean as they could be.
Use tartar control crest.
But doctor, I said, shouldn't I use baking soda and peroxide for my gums?
Pete, he said, they're not proven to do anything special for your gums either.
So I used crest.
And my tartar problem?
No problem.
Tartar control crest.
It's proven to fight tartar buildup.
It's the dentist's choice.
More surprises for me.
Welcome back to Hafjall.
We are ready for the second run of the slalom portion of this men's combined event.
And it will determine our gold, silver, and bronze.
Right now after the first slalom run, two Norwegians, Schuss and Omot, followed by Tommy Moe.
There is Lasse Schuss, the leader after the first slalom run, combining his downhill time and his time on that morning run.
Tommy Moe, who will be coming up shortly, standing in third place.
And the Slovenians right now have the leader, Jure Kozir, as we are joining the second run in progress.
Kozir, currently the leader, that you'll have to watch.
A lot of top racers follow him.
Ten seconds.
Including Mark Juradeli, eight after the first run, 2.76 seconds behind the leader.
And you'll notice how the sun has broken up over the ridge.
It's going to be a lot easier for the skiers to attack.
They can see a little better.
They can pick their line and really go for it.
They talk about how Juradeli is a well-balanced skier, skiing all disciplines well.
He's not only had 12 operations on his body, but he's won 12 world championships and Olympic medals.
He's possibly the most complete skier we've ever seen, winning last year his fifth overall World Cup title.
And he is leading right now, moving ahead of Kozir at this stage of the course.
It's really bizarre to see how Juradeli is just not going fast in the technical disciplines this year.
As a matter of fact, in the first run, Tommy Moe, to tell you how well he skied, actually beat Juradeli by four tenths of a second.
He's just so hard on the edge, he has no feel.
In the first place, but not vintage Juradeli.
Still struggling in these games.
He has pushed Kozir into second place.
Oh, looks like maybe some fans you see at a Packer game.
They've arrived here and painted themselves with Norwegian flags.
It is a cold but sunny day here.
This is Omot, getting his goggles ready for his run.
Meanwhile, his young teammate, another attacking Viking, Carol Stron Nielsen.
Ready, go!
Nielsen is in the same position that Jeremy Novus was the other day in the Giant Slalom Six.
Now this is a great position to be in because there's no pressure to win, no expectations.
And from this position, you can really let it fly and hammer it down the hillside.
If you fall, so what? But if you make it, you can be a real threat.
Nielsen from nearby Jovik.
There's the leader's time.
And he is just 12 100s behind.
The youngster having a good run.
Really good run. Watch his speed.
He's making most of the turn above the gate.
He's nice and early.
And when you do this, it generates the speed down the hill to the next gate.
The earlier you are, the better you are.
Terrific rhythm here for Nielsen during these bottom gates.
He's on that bottom face.
Here he is to the line and into first place.
Four tenths ahead.
Sweet skiing by Nielsen.
Notice how he moves his weight from one foot to the other.
And the turn is made above the gate nice and early.
Also, he's got a good solid call plant.
And he clears the gate with his hands in front of him.
The hands always remain in front of you.
And the center bounce over the middle of the skis.
So the Norwegian fans have one of their own to top the leaderboard
at this stage of the second run.
With the veteran marcher Deli second and Yuri Kojir third.
American Tommy Moe still to come.
Come on Tommy.
Tommy.
Don't worry.
Oh, it's so cute.
Excuse me.
Could you take a picture of us with the photo over there?
If you take off to the Italian town of Todi.
But your camera just takes off.
Where'd they go?
You better have Visa Gold.
Because there's not a camera store there that takes American Express.
There's a great shot.
Visa Gold, it's everywhere you want to be.
I got an idea.
What?
First one to miss watches a winner eat two Big Macs.
Hey, can I play?
No.
Over the Grand Canyon.
Off your face.
Through the window.
Off the floor.
Nothing but net.
Watch this shot.
Hey, could I play?
No.
Out the hatch.
Over the beach.
Through the window.
Off the scoreboard.
Nothing but net.
Please.
Ready, please.
No.
Hey, I'm hungry.
What do you say I buy you a Big Mac?
I'll buy.
No, I'll buy.
Play you to see who buys.
Okay, around Saturn, through the Dipper.
Nothing but net.
Guys, guys, I can make that.

Girodelli, perhaps, is sensing his time for a medal is not going to hold up.
And here is young Harold Strahn-Nielsen, currently the leader and hoping he might stay in for a medal.
Tommy Moe with counsel from his coach, Julie Luti.
Meanwhile, Gunter Motter ready to go, fifth after the first run.
You know, watching Gunter Motter, I think he's got a similar problem to Girodelli.
And the fact that when you ski all disciplines, sometimes you get a little bit burned out because after downhill you train swallowing, after swallowing you train GS, and you lose your feel if you have it too much.
Sometimes you just need to take a day off, and these guys are just constant workaholics, and I think, you know, they need to let their scheme breathe a little bit.
The leader's time is Nielsen's. Remember, it combines the downhill time and their first slalom run, and he's under it by 2400.
You know, it doesn't look like he's skiing poorly, but it's amazing. The margins of air and time differentials are so small at the world-class level that you cannot ski fast unless you ski perfectly.
You can see Gunter a little bit wide right there, sitting back a little bit there. It's just not flawless skiing.
To the finish line, Motter into second place.
Nine 100s behind. That will not be good enough, with the top skier still to come, and he knows it.
And the Swiss fans, waiting for their man Paul Akalas, still a contender.
There are three skiers after Paul Akala. One of them, Tommy Moe, is not nearly as good as Akala. Akala beat him by two seconds in the first run.
To guarantee himself a medal, Paul Akala has got to beat Nielsen, who's standing at the finish right now.
Akala, perhaps, is feeling some of the burden of the Swiss problem during these Olympics. They've only got one medal among the men, and that was Urs Kaelin in the Giant Slalom.
And Akala is now eight tenths ahead of the leader.
You know, there should be no problem to hold on to eight tenths of a second, but on the bottom, it looks to me as though he's a little bit conservative, quite round, stepping a little bit early, like again, right there.
These are not crisp, vibrant slalom moves.
Akala struggling down here toward the bottom, and he gets only in the third place.
He loses a second from halfway to the finish.
A slow bottom run by Akala leaves Nielsen atop the leaderboard.
Next is Tommy Moe. The Americans know it. They're watching on the big screen in the finish area.
Here he is, the gold medalist in downhill, with a chance for a medal here.
Ready, go!
With the information he received from his coach after Uli Luti, it's very important information.
There's no problems. Get in there, kid, and let's have a shot at it. Go as hard as you can.
There are no tight turns. Just make sure you're staying over the skis on this team. There should be no problems.
Solid skiing in there.
The leading time is Nielsen's, and he's under it. By nearly six tenths, Tommy Moe coming to the bottom.
But let's remember that Nielsen's a great slalom skier, had a good run. Tommy Moe's a downhill, a little bit wide and a little bit round right there.
Five tenths is not that much. Tommy Moe has got to keep his foot in it.
Moe looks like he's going as hard as he can here, pushing to the bottom.
Not natural moves for him, but he is really, really trying.
In the third place, Nielsen stays first. Can Moe stay third?
Omot and Schuss to follow.
American fans love it, but he'll need some help from the slalom skiers.
No real big mistakes, just small mistakes in every gate. He gets his hits a little low right here.
And then between the turns, his skis get airborne.
Right there, right there, and again right here.
When the ski lands, it skids, costing just small hundredths, but they all add up.
A good effort by the downhill champion. He's third, but two strong slalom skiers to follow.
Lassie Schuss will be last, and next will be Chetil Andre Omot.

An all-new 48 Hours returns Wednesday.
American Tommy Moe in the bronze medal position, but two more racers to follow.
Harold Strahn Nielsen is in first place and his teammates still to come.
Lassie Schuess will be last. Next will be Shadil Andre Omot.
Ready, go!
It's amazing how fast the skiers are skiing on top and how much time they're losing on the bottom.
Omot, I'm sure, is realizing this. His coaches have radioed up saying, OK, guys, let's keep attacking.
Over the mill, down the steep, all the way to the finish. It's not back off.
He's got a silver in downhill, a bronze in super G.
Trying for a third medal here today. Looking for gold.
You saw him talking about his passive skiing in the first run.
You know that's the last thing he's going to want to do.
And you can see he's already 1.3 seconds ahead at the halfway mark right there.
Remember, Nielsen skied perfectly on the bottom.
Omot coming to these final gates. He gave the downhillers all kinds of problems right here.
Conservative skiing again.
To the finish line for Omot and into first place.
Norwegians are 1-2.
Nielsen and Omot. Tommy Moe is pumped out of a medal spot.
Omot and Nielsen knowing that Schuess is still to follow.
With a chance for gold and at least an opportunity for a 1-2-3 for Norway.
Schuess led his teammate Omot by more than a second at the end of the first run.
Now he's chasing him for the gold.
Two days ago Christian Meyer from Austria led after the first run of the giant slalom.
He said at the second run he could barely get out of the starting gate.
You wonder what's going through Schuess's head.
I think the most important thing that he can do is ski very fast on top and then just ski solid on the bottom.
There's Omot's time to beat.
And he's ahead of it by more than a second.
These Norwegian fans are going crazy.
He is not risking everything. That's not 150%. This is just good, solid skiing.
Coming to that tough section on the bottom face.
Lasse Schuess can make it 3 for 3 Norwegians in the first place.
He's got the gold.
Omot the silver, Nielsen the bronze, a Norwegian sweep.
The team known as the Attacking Vikings expected to mine gold in these Alpine events finally hit the mother load here on the combine.
Schuess getting their first gold and his teammates completing a route of the field.
Schuess, Omot and Strahn Nielsen, gold, silver and bronze and a great show by Tommy Moe.
I skied pretty well today for me in Slalom because it's not my best event and I'm happy with the way things went.
I'm happy for Norway. They're 1-2-3 and I've already got my medals so I'll leave some to Strahn Nielsen in Houston.
Congratulations to Tommy Moe on a great Olympics and to those three Norwegians for the first time in men's Alpine history.
1-2-3 to the host country.
And remember Kyle Rasmussen, he hiked back up after missing a gate in the first run to guarantee himself a second run.

Victory! Hain salutes this Olympic moment of the day. Norway's Espen Bredesen, the crowd's undisputed champion.
He won a silver on the large hill, finished out of the medals in the team competition.
But today, in front of his adoring countrymen, he soared with two spectacular jumps, capturing his first Olympic gold.

She seems reasonably relaxed.
And Katerina Bitt, a two-time gold medalist who will be the last to skate.
Right now it is Tonya Harding's turn to skate.
But this tortured pass she's taken to the Olympics continues here.
This is backstage.
And Tonya Harding after the warm-up had a problem with her laces.
It is her turn to be on the ice right now.
This is a young lady who had a problem with her costume at the US Nationals a year ago.
She had a skate blade break at a Skate America competition in October.
And now the public address is announcing Tonya Harding's name.
And she's still lacing up her boots.
And this is every skater's recurring nightmare.
This is one that you wake up screaming from every morning.
Her father Al is here. He is bewildered by what has happened to his daughter.
Diane Rawlinson on the left.
And the crowd totally unaware of where the problem lies.
Now if a skater starts to panic, this can really get them flustered.
They can throw off their timing once they get on the ice.
Even if you're late for practice sometimes.
You get on, you try to rush to get ready, you try to rush to get your thoughts in order.
And it can really throw you off.
I think they just gave her a two-minute warning, a two-minute call.
And she's trying to get the lace going there.
This can really throw a skater off.
Well this bizarre real-life movie continues.
On the scoreboard they're running a clock. It's up to one minute and seven seconds.
If she's not out here in 45 seconds, I think they're going to disqualify her.
I'm not sure.
I've never seen anything like this before at any competition.
She's got to hurry.
She's not going to hold me.
Well she's still obviously worried about the lace.
She should be more worried about the performance.
But I guess you can't worry about the performance unless your equipment is ready.
Amazing.
The free skate ladies competition, four minutes in length.
It accounts for two-thirds of the final score.
Tanya Harding after that mistake-filled technical program is in 10th place.
And the last jump she took in the warm-up was a triple axel and she fell.
She escaped to the music of Jurassic Park.
In a situation like this, I'm sure her heart rate's up over 180.
She's going to have to calm down.
Because the first minute of her program, three huge jumping passes.
The first one, triple lutz.
She had problems with this in the technical program. Reaches back with a right foot.
Single.
She looked at her skate. It looked like she was uncomfortable.
And I think she's going to quit.
How devastating. It's so difficult to compose yourself when you're late.
Name has been introduced.
Whenever a skater has a problem, whether it's a costume or a hook or a lace,
they have to go right to the referee, report the problem, and then the referee makes a ruling.
Dianne Rawlinson to the left, her coach.
I'm sure what she's telling them right now is that she tried her best to get her best.
She's a professional skater and she's a really good skater.
I think that's a great thing.
She's a very good skater and she's a very good skater.
I'm sure what she's telling them right now is that she tried her best to get out here
on time.
She threw the lace on, she threw it together, and she did the best she could to get out
here.
In a situation like this, the referee, the judging panel will give her every opportunity
to put out her best performance.
That's her father, Al.
I would think, Scott, though no announcement has been made, they've obviously given her
a set amount of time.
Things like this just don't happen.
Again, it's so important that the skate is tied properly, it's important that it's comfortable
on your foot.
When I get my skate on during competition, even if it's a little uncomfortable, I don't
re-tie it, I'll just get used to it, because any change in the comfort, if they're tied
too tight, your feet fall asleep.
Everything has to be just perfect, especially in Olympic competition.
The announcement has been made in Norwegian, now it is being made in English.
Well, I think they're allowing Tanya to fix her skate, but they're asking Jose Schminar
to come to the ice.
I'm sure Jose's not even prepared.
This is a difficult call, because it's really not fair to Jose.
She was expecting to skate after Tanya Harding, and while the previous skater is on, a skater
collects their thoughts and gets mentally prepared, and this could throw Jose way off.
That's the USA team leader Gail Tanger, and now the Canadian champion Jose Schminar, who
never dreamed that she would be a part of this improbable story.
And yet she has been affected by it.
She has to compose herself as well, I'm sure she's unhappy with this.
Again, you psych yourself up during the previous skater's performance, I'm sure she's not
ready to perform either.
It's going to take everything she's got to get in the right frame of mind.
Jose Schminar will be given a chance to warm up her Canadian teammates looking on.
When we return, Jose Schminar on the ice.
