My all-time favourite Olympic moment Colonel Logain Send a noteboard - 14/02/2010 11:05:52 AM
I was hooked after the first qualifying race I saw. I had to stay up for the final. I did not see that ending coming.

I was happy that the Canadian, Olivier Jean, was given a second chance after the other person took him out in the qualifying race. I wish that the Korean guy would have had a chance like that. I wonder what would be worse. Being him or being his teammate.

That is a pretty intense competition.

Edit - Please feel free to post a better link. I couldn't find one of the actual final race and had a hard time posting the one I did. (New computer. Isn't as simple as the old)

He won after two crashes. He was last in the semifinal until a lap or two to go, when three of the guys in front crashed and let him through. In the final he was dead last when the 4 guys in front all crashed coming out of the last corner. The final is here:

I have nothing to add. I just wanted to be included in this thread.

I'm ever so slightly proud that a NZer won the first ever medal for the SH at the Winter Games. Rebekah - 16/02/2010 12:20:09 AM 335 Views
