Sofia Goggia was ahead when she crossed her skis on the final schuss and survived. |

As I have said before:) Ilka Stuhec and Sofia Goggia! We will see more of them. Tough luck of Lindsey Vonn though who seems not being recovered from her injuries. |

I know, but my Italian keyboard has no umlaut. That is the advantage of English, no diacritical marks, like Latin. Tullio |

Actually English have diacritical marks. Like in naïve and the names Brontë, Chloë and Zoë. As for German and the Nordic languages the diacritical marks means a lot. We even have short words like: Å: Watercourse or stream. Ö: Island I have an Ö in my last name. Confusing to see in my passport that spell it OE. |

That may be, but I don't see any diacritical mark on my US keyboard. One has to have a keyboard for every language. On the Hebrew terminals that we at Bull sold in Israel Hebrew words would be typed from right to left, while English words on the same terminal would be typed from left to right. Tullio |

But I have worked for the German company Siemens many years ago. They had keyboards with Å,Ä,Ö and yes, Ü. DÜ stand for the "datei übertragen" button. Thats enter to us regulary folks. DÜ is also pronounced "DY" in Swedish. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dy_(Bodentyp) So don't use the DÜ button please:) |

I think Austria are thinking "At last" at the moment. Anyway, Leif Kristian Haugen, is very pleased with his Bronze medal:) |

Mikaela is first after first run, Wendy Holdener second and Veronika Velez Zuzulova third. Tullio A book of mine, "Esperimenti con i grandi scienziati", written for children and published by Mondadori, has been translated into seven languages. I have the Norwegian edition. Unfortunately I had conceded all translation rights to Mondadori, not believing that the book would have translations. Stupid me. |
