I want to give props to Erik Guay. He is not a GS specialist, started 44th first run and finished 29th, ended up having the second fastest 2nd run just behind the Norwegian who finishd 2nd.
He was barely off the podium twice in these olympics, and once in Turin (super-G finished 4th).

Austria took Gold in the Ladie's Super-G and Bronze in the Ladie's Downhill, or were you just talking about Men's?
The Austrian press has been all over the skiiers so far, I imagine it won't be a joyous homecoming.
