Day 5 - Women's Snow Board Cross

So the olympics are actually over now, but i have not had a chance to update my blog so here we go. Time to catch back up. On Tuesday Feb 16th, Whistler local Maelle Ricker had a chance at redemption after making the final at the last olympics in Torino only to crash and knock herself out. This year she has been one of the top ranked boarders and my pick to win the Gold medal. She almost didn't even make it through qualification as she fell and had a slow time in her first qualifying run, and with the weather rolling in, there was talk of not having a second run. Luckily the weather broke and she was able to post one of the top times in her second run. She then went on to win the Gold medal.
