The Tribune relives the heady days of the 2002 Winters Olympics in pictures — with a daily gallery from the torch relay to the Opening Ceremony, from Team USA’s medal haul to the fireworks-filled finale.
Feb. 18 » Australia’s Alisa Camplin wins gold in the women’s aerials by landing two almost flawless double back flips, and Germany’s Uschi Disl wins an unprecedented eighth Olympic biathlon medal when her team roars from behind to capture the relay. Ice dancers Gwendal Peizerat and Marina Anissina of France win the gold, with a Russian judge seeming to dispel allegations of a vote-swapping deal in the pairs controversy by voting against them.
