U.S. Looks for Deep Impact Again
The U.S. team (Shaun White, X Games champion; Danny Kass, 2002 silver medalist; Mason Aguirre and Andy Finch) might be stronger than the one that claimed all the medals in 2002 at Salt Lake City.
Even so, Finnish athletes Antti Autti, the reigning world champion, and Risto Mattila; French rider Mathieu Crepel, the World Cup champion, and Japanese rider Kazuhiro Kokubo, 17, could figure in the medal picture.
