Mikaela Shiffrin and other Alpine skiers at the Beijing Olympics get help from coaches and teammates who offer course reports before races. Those reports are usually given via two-way radios and offer a mix of information and motivation. Racers can get insights into the speed of a course or the conditions of the snow that day. Or they might be told how other racers are dealing with certain turns or jumps. (AP Photo/Alessandro Trovati)
