okay, Yahoo! front page:

I need your headlines to lead to a useful article.

If you tell me: "US wins first gold medal/Great Finish to Day 1," then I want the article to tell me who won and for what event, and maybe the comparative scores. Some history is fine, too, if you want.

I do NOT want a long, fluffy article about the winner and another close runner-up and what they've done before and what happened at another game in Canada forty years ago in a completely different event and where the winner's parents are from. At the very least, if you're going to give me all that (poorly written) mess, make sure it does contain the vital information.

I STILL don't know what the event was, other than that it had something to do with skiing and maybe some jumps were involved.

If there's anything I really, truly dislike... it's articles about nothing.
