There is "Howling and Gnashing of Teeth"

The greatest and most desired medals are those awarded for the most difficult discipline in Alpine Skiing:
"The Super Combination".
That is the combined result of a Special Slalom and a Downhill run. The winner is clearly the best "all round" skier. 
Unfortunately no Austrian placed anywhere near the top and the disappointment is palpable.
There once was a time when you'd expect and often got 3 Austrians in the first 5...
Yes, skiing then was spelled with a Capital S in Austria. It still is, but the S got a little smaller.
Oh well, wait till next year.
You can't winnem all allatime...
