Dramatic Olympic Women's Boarder Cross today
Check this out... a race for the medal in Women's Board Cross. 2 Canadians, 1 American and 1 Swiss in as a wild card. 1/3 of the way down the course 1 Canadian goes over a jump and lands on her back. About 1/2 of the way down the course the Swiss and remaining Canadian get tangled up a bit and the 2nd Canadian go straight over one of the huge banked turns, into the fence and almost takes out a race official. At this point the American is dozens of metres ahead of the Swiss woman. On the last jump the American does a trick and falls. The Swiss (the underdog) zips by her and gets the gold medal. The American woman gets a silver (I think I saw her coach mouth a profanity). At this point, the 2nd Canadian that went into the fence manages to get back on to the course and finishes and gets the bronze. The 1st Canadian is hauled off on a stretcher.
I had some insomonia so I saw it live in the middle of the night. I yelled and almost woke up my wife and baby. I love sports that actually have olympians directly against each other instead of against a clock.
