On a day when Torin Koos and Andrew Newell outpaced the field by an amazing four seconds in the preliminary round, you just knew it would have to come down to the two of them in the final. And while Chad Giese and Steve Scott also skied strong and put up a great fight in the final, Newell and Koos held their positions as two of America's top sprinters. Newell took the win by half a second over Koos, with Giese right behind him.
The fog from yesterday had cleared, creating great skiing and a picture perfect day. Great skiing, super tracks, easy klister waxing.
