Snowboard Cross Gold is Lost

I have to admit...after watching the new snow board cross events I was a little disappointed. This event sounded very interesting but the boarders seemed slow in comparison to the skiing. BUT last night's event's...holy cow....were exciting to say the least. Maybe the women are just more exciting then the men! When the boarders are close together it gets pretty scary and the semifinal races were close. I was hoping the American girl would win gold and was delighted to see her way ahead of the pack with two of the four having fallen. Figuring she had it in the bag I was celebrating until...................wham! Down she goes not far from the end. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! She was showing off in the air after a jump and fell. SPLAT! Watching the gold medal winner breeze by....
She has to feel like dufus.............
