Music star takes on Olympic giant slalom
Today's music is the "Winter" concerto from Vivaldi's Four Season's perfomed by violin virtuoso Vanessa-Mae. Her techno-classical music has sold millions of albums, but she put that career on hold to train for the Olympics. She competed today under the name Vanessa Vanakorn in the women's giant slalom. Although, she is a British citizen, Vanakorn is competing for Thailand, where her father was born. Perhaps it's not time to quit her day job. Vanakorn finished dead last among the 67 skiers in today's competition.
