Maze given bodyguards after death threats
GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (Reuters) - World Cup winner Tina Maze was given bodyguards after death threats were received at a local ski club before a women's super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, organisers said on Sunday.
"It's a shame but things like that happen," the head of the organising committee, Peter Fischer, told reporters.

I don't have words to express what I feel."
