	Where Are They Now? Phil Mahre, 1984 Gold Medalist
		Phil Mahre was only 15 when he joined the U.S. Ski Team in 1973 and spent years overcoming numerous hurdles before blazing past gates.
		Phil Mahre says he "inherited" a strong sense of family from his parents, who "taught us right from wrong, and instilled in us a solid work ethic and the values and morals you need for a productive life."
		Yakima's Phil Mahre, who won the slalom gold medal at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, won 27 World Cup races during his career, still the most by any American man. Mahre also reached the podium on 69 occasions during his World Cup career (1975-84).

	AspenWORLDcup2002
		American Phil Mahre was the most celebrated skier in Aspen in 1983, where he clinched his third consecutive World Cup victory.
		Mahre and Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden were arch rivals in the giant slalom, which Mahre won handily, placing first in the first run to Stenmark’s second, and third in the second run, to Stenmark’s seventh.
		While Mahre was supreme in the GS, Canada’s Todd Brooker won the men’s downhill after the race was delayed one day due to 25 inches of snow that fell during World Cup weekend.

		But Phil fought back hard the next season and won his first gold medal in combined in 1980 as well as an Olympic silver medal in slalom on the same slope where he was seriously injured the year before.
		In 1982, Phil refused to enter the combined events with new rules at the FIS World Championships at Schladming.
		Mahre refused to enter the newly created Super-G races, a mixture of downhill and giant slalom run in a single leg.

		These days, the Mahre brothers work together, their racing careers providing comfortable jobs as motivational speakers, attending corporate events; working with sponsors; and running their ski schools at Vail resorts and at other resorts around the country.
		Phil already had resigned himself to losing, as his brother beat him badly on the first of the two runs in the slalom.
		Phil Mahre has thought about lending out his medals, maybe three months at a time, to raise money for charities.

		Phil indicated he would not be taking any unnecessary risks in this endeavor and actually told me about what happened to Dane Spencer apparently on that very same course in the very same turn that got Bill Johnson.
		However, Phils is in better shape than anyone else that Ive met of his age, and he will probaly still beat half the kids.

	Where Are They Now? Steve Mahre, 1984 Silver Medalist
		The "younger" Mahre remembers the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo mostly as the day he won the silver in the slalom behind his brother "by 21 one-hundredths of a second." But things easily could have been reversed that day; the twins had traded one-two finishes on the World Cup circuit for years.
		Both Steve and Andy, as well as Phil and his son, Alex, are helping to promote a statewide fitness program being launched Feb. 14 called Lighten Up Washington, urging youths and adults to become more active, particularly outdoors.
		Mahre says his "office" is outside -- just the way he likes it -- and he plays as many sports as he can to stay active.

	Torino 2006 - MY CHAMPIONS by Paolo De Chiesa: Phil and Steve Mahre
		Feb 4 2004 To really know the Mahre twins, I’d like you to believe that I, too, have said hello Phil two times in five minutes convinced that it was Steve...but I have never confused them when they had skis on their feet!
		Gifted and somewhat reckless on the descent and backed by Steve in the adored technical disciplines, Phil showed very early that he was well prepared to take full advantage of the regulations, not by chance unfavourable to Stenmark, and became the new ace of the Cup; he won it 3 times consecutively starting in 1981.
		We boycotted the interviews, and altogether, Stenmark included, issued fiery statements directed against those who had dared doubt of the good faith of Phil and Steve, who were merely distracted when they put on those wrong numbers, convinced they were wearing 3 and 13 and not the opposite.

		Phil Mahre also ran downhill - he was once ranked in the top 15 on the FIS list (1982 season) - which is the only reason that he was able to win his three World Cup overall titles.
		Phil didn't win too many Cup races in his day, but he was consistently in the top-5 in technical events.
		You could also argue that Mahre was a bit more boring, as he wasn't always taking the same amount of risks as many of his competitors.
