		Italy's Sylvio Fauner edged the great Bjorn Daehlie of Norway by four-tenths of a second in 1994, then Alsgaard needed a last-second lunge to nip Fauner by two-tenths of a second four years later.

	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.
		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.
		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.

	Articles - Olympic Games
		The number of competitors at the Winter Olympics is much smaller than at the summer edition; 2,400 athletes from 77 countries competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 78 events.
		The Olympics were of fundamental religious importance, contests alternating with sacrifices and ceremonies honouring both Zeus (whose colossal statue stood at Olympia), and Pelops, divine hero and mythical king of Olympia famous for his legendary chariot race, in whose honour the games were held.
		The growth of the Olympics also means that some less popular (modern pentathlon) or expensive (white water canoeing) sports have to fear for their place on the Olympic programme.
