The top score went to Canada's Horst Bulau. Hastings actually trailed teammate Jeff Davis, a Steamboat native, in distance dis-tance points at the end of the event. But he more than made up the difference by picking up 56.5 out of a possible 60 style points on a classic second jump. Bulau had a two-jump total of 262.8 points, Hastings picked up 254.0, and Davis had 249.3. On Sunday, Bulau continued con-tinued to demonstrate why he is the best jumper on the North American continent by winning the 90-meter event with a two-jump total of 245.1 points. Diminutive Steve Colline, a 16-year-old sensation from Thunder Bay, Ontario, took second in the 90-meter event with a 228.8 points, just ahead of Davis (228.1) and Hastings (225.8). Following the 90-meter competition, the top 20 jumpers were invited to compete for the Merrill Trophy, awarded for the longest single jump (with no style points). The only stipulation stipu-lation is that the jumpers not fall down. The trophy went to Davis, much to the delight of the Steamboat spectators.

Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark Sten-mark made it four in a row on Sunday, charging to victory in the slalom event held in Oslo, Norway, and leaving the rest of the field to fight it out for second place. And Swedish teammate Bengt Fjaellberg was there to grab the leftovers, capturing captur-ing second place behind his fellow countryman. Third place went to Soviet Vladimir Vladi-mir Andreev. American contender Phil Mahre was in third place after the first run, but a few minor flaws in his second run left him in fourth place at the end of the day. Brother Steve was sixth. Stenmark's win, together with a first place in the giant slalom held Feb. 3 in Schladming, Austria, gave him 235 World Cup points for the season. Phil Mahre's fourth-place finish, and a sixth at Schladming, gave him a solid hold on second place in the overall standings stand-ings with 180 points.

I know I can, but I must ski better and faster to do it." (For overall World Cup standings as of Sunday, see the Scoreboard section. ) Meanwhile, Sun Valley's Christin Cooper still is moving mov-ing up in the women's overall standings.
