KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — It wouldn't be the Olympics if there
weren't concerns about a snow course.  The issue du jour comes
from snowboardcross, where riders were concerned about
overshooting their landings on jumps. The women's competition at
Rosa Khutor Extreme Park is Sunday and the men's is Monday.
WOMEN'S SUPER-G: Austria's Fenninger wins  MEDAL TRACKER: Who
leads the race  "If you go full speed, you're going way too far
and then you will crash 100 percent," said Austria's Markus
Shairer. "I think the riders that are not so good are doing it
because they see their chance to pass there, but everybody who
has done snowboardcross one or two years knows that it's
impossible."  At issue are the kickers, or ramps that send
riders into the air. Because they're too vertical, if riders go
at full speed, they completely overshoot the landing or land too
low on it.  Trimming the kicker to allow for a more horizontal
trajectory than they're providing now would help the riders.
