By Sara Rossi CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Albanian skier Lara Colturi said on Wednesday she is confident that she can ski much better after finishing 10th in the women's slalom at the Winter Games and she could soon also compete in super-G.
The bid to win a medal is more elusive for some than others. In fact, 84 of the 122 teams have never won a medal in the Winter Olympics. The United States won its first medal in the 1924 Chamonix Olympics, the first winter games held in modern history, along with seven other teams, including Canada and Great Britain.
