Forget the progressive disappoint ments of the first 12 days, the failure of the hockey team, the disqualifica tion of Tamara McKinney, the near miss of Rosalynn Sumners; never mind that the United States failed to score in seven of the nine Olympic sports and Finished far behind East Germany in the medal standings. You can forget it because the last day of the Winter Olympics belonged to the United States, courtesy of the Mahre twins giving Americans rea son enough to carry away fond mem ories. What more of a Hollywood finish could one ask for than to have twins finish 1-2 in an Olympic ski race, each helping the other with key strat egy, and when the deed is done learning that one is a new father and the other a new uncle? In a spectacular windup to a not so exciting winter interlude, Phil and Steve Mahre proved just how close they really are Sunday by placing 1-2 in the men’s slalom. The twins look so much alike that only their closest inti mates can tell them apart, and in what is likely to be one of their final competitive appearances together, they finished virtually on each other’s heels. ? So was salvaged what started out to be a disastrous Olympics for the United States — and the Americans retained bragging rights as the leader in Alpine skiing. The United States won half of the six Alpine events. In addition to Mahre, Bill Johnson won the down hill and Debbie Armstrong the wom en’s giant slalom, with Steve Mahre and Christin Cooper (giant slalom) picking up silver. But somewhat embarrassed by th§ir lack of success, the U.S. Olym pic Committee says it is close to sign ing up a sponsor to fund a $5.5 mil lion program with the goal of improving the country’s perfor- - mance in the next Winter Games.
