Aamodt claimed his second gold medal in three days Saturday, as he completed his run down the Grizzly course in one minute and 21.58 seconds. It was the second time the Norwegian skier has upset favored Stephan Eberharter. The Austrian finished just one-tenth of one second back to claim the silver medal.
