first American man since Phil Mahre in 1983 to win the overall

Had a disappointing 2005-2006 season, winning only two races
and leaving the Turin Olympics empty handed.

2003 giant slalom and combined world champion, super-G joint
silver.
2002 Olympic silver medallist in giant slalom and combined

stay in hotels on the World Cup.
