ShareCORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Washington Post columnist Barry Svrluga was reporting from his first Winter Olympics when Lindsey Vonn left her hospital bed after a crash and returned to compete days later at the 2006 Turin Games. The Post announced two days before the Olympics opened last week that it was eliminating its sports section while laying off a third of its staff. Svrluga’s final column from these Games will mark his final story for the Post. In the meantime, he’s going to try and enjoy the Olympics — and being in Italy — more than he usually does while on assignment.
