Against all the odds - BBC SPORT \| Winter Olympics 2002 \| Alpine Skiing \| Baxter grabs bronze for Britain Alain Baxter has won Great Britain's first ever Olympic medal in alpine skiing. The 28-year-old Scot, nicknamed The Highlander, came home third in the men's slalom at Salt Lake City. Well done Alain. Scotland's ( ;-) ) medal tally is now 1 gold, 1 bronze. That's another one in the eye for English commentators that have been making derogatory comments. See, for example, NEWS.scotsman.com - Salt Lake City 2002 - Unsporting comments curl the nations lip
