I didn't, you win again. Really? Wow. I mean, come on Chris, Culture Club is only like the greatest band in the history of the UK. You'd have to agree with that, now wouldn't you? __________________________________________________Returning to the topic at hand, Snowboardcross - which I had never heard of prior to these Games, is extremely fun to watch. I only wish I was coordinated enough to attempt it. There is certainly a lesson to be learned from this young lady's lack of judgment (and sportsmanship). Celebrate after you've won. Hopefully that issue will be addressed during the broadcast tonight and whomever speaks out won't get bashed as being unpatriotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 "When she recovered, she trailed Frieden over the finish line, then put her hands on her knees and held her palms up."How does one do that? What a goofy position to take.Overall, snowboardcross is the most exciting of winter sports, ofr my money. It was a great watch. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

LMU Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I am not in the least surprised by this... after all, aren't most snowboarders nothing but a bunch of egotistical punks?(yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but this is from observation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 It does seem that way I think its becuase of the young culture of the sport most are basically teenagers or still act like teenagers. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Man will she be pissed when she realizes that the Olympics come once every four years, and not many people get the opportunity to be the inaugural winner in an Olympic event.....Too much show, not enough boat....

paynomind Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Wow, that?s awfully harsh. And patently untrue.Some things to remember about this incident:She is 20. That?s young, guys. Expecting her to hold sport in such high regard, to be above any stylistic goofing off is a loft expectation from someone society won?t even trust to buy a beer.Snowboarding is largely artistic. In fact, this is the only snowboarding event that isn?t judged. With anything artistic, you can expect eccentrics. What you ignorant call 'punks' are just artists who express themselves with motion, movement, and flair on a snowboard. Jacobellis is a half-pipe competitor as well, so she is trained to show some style.She might have fallen anyway. If you watch much (any) of the event, folks fell all kinds of places, sometimes for no perceived reason. There was no guarantee she would have finished first, though it did seem likely.There is no way to know if the Method air really caused her to fall, or if she was off course to her left anyway, and might have landed on her heels anyway. You can suppose all you want, but no one knows for sure. If you saw the coverage tonight, then you know she came to talk to Bob Costas and owned up to letting her mind go somewhere else, and doing the wrong thing. I think that is mighty big of her. It would have been easy to deny. It would have been easy to avoid the media. But she went to the show, said she goofed it up.And finally, the one thing I want you to remember most: SHE came in second. Not us. Not you. She. If what she did cost her a place in the medals, then SHE cost HERSELF a medal. That?s all it was. You should have no ill feelings about it anyway. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!
