	skiing. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Water skiing is a warm-weather sport in which a motor-propelled craft tows a skier through the water.
		An Olympic event known as the Nordic combined comprises cross-country racing and ski jumping, and the biathlon events combine cross-country skiing with rifle shooting.
		Skiing enjoyed a tremendous boom in the United States as a recreational sport from the 1930s, spurred by the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, N.Y. (1932 and 1988) and at Squaw Valley, Calif. (1960), and by the development of ski tows and lifts, which can place skiers at the summit of a run in minutes.

	Cross country skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cross-country skiing events at the 2002 Winter Olympics were marred by drug problems.
		The winners of three races were disqualified after blood tests showed that three skiers had overly high red blood cell counts indicating the use of darbepoetin, a drug used to treat anemia.
		After two years and several lawsuits in Olympic and Swiss courts, the skiers in question (Johann Mühlegg of Spain, and Larissa Lazutina and Olga Danilova of Russia) were stripped of all their medals from the 2002 Games.

	Bjørn Dæhlie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His 8 Olympic titles are a record for an athlete at the Winter Olympics, as is his total of 12 Olympic medals (he also won 4 silver medals) which he amassed in three Olympics (Albertville, Lillehammer, and Nagano).
		In addition to his Olympic record, he had great success at the world championships (17 medals; 9 gold), especially in 1997 when he won medals in all five of the events.
		If it had not been for a career-ending crash that happened while roller skiing, then Dæhlie would have had the opportunity to add to his collection of medals; despite the unanticipatedly early exit from the sport, he is generally considered the greatest Nordic skier of all time.

	Free skiing's freedom draws athletes - 2002 Winter Olympics coverage
		At the end of the 2002 Winter Games and the beginning of a new century, the freestyle, barely 10 years old as an Olympic medal event, is something like a middle-aged rebel trying to conform to the establishment's regulations while hanging onto its rule-breaker image.
		It is in free skiing that he developed his now hugely popular dinner roll, which shook up the Olympic competition and became an event all its own.
		His complaint was that while the skiing (of moguls) has gotten faster and more precise, the tricks remain essentially the same as they did when he won in 1998.

	Olympic Cross Country Skiing Links
		The origins of cross country, or Nordic, skiing go back at least 5,000 years when the technique was used as a means of winter transportation.
		The men's events were included in the first Winter Games in Chamonix in 1924; women's competition was added in 1952.
		Skiers employ either a classic technique using a diagonal stride in which the skis remain parallel, or free technique, which resembles the motion of ice skating and is usually faster than classic.
