You shouldn't be allowed to redeem yourself after throwing away the gold like she did four years ago...

Congrats to Ricker. Although not as entertaining as the men's final, she did deserve the Gold.
As for Jacobellis.... Oh my!

Must be heartbreaking for Jacobellis, but that's how these things go.
Good job, Ricker.

Wow the standard of riding in womans Snobo-cross is dismally low! if you didn't tell me I would think I was watching a local race on a no name hill anywhere in the world. Compared to the womans half pipe riders, freestyle skiers, mogul skiers - where the woman are actually pretty decent the Sno-bo cross riders are embarrassing

why doesn't regular Japanese TV show all the Olympics insteadof just the JP teams with a chance? Pathetic.

i agree flammen but I could not even see that on tv tonight. only men's effeminate ice skating. i do not care about their gender but i would love to see some other stuff besides this crap tv garbage with no talent fake laughing at talento who do not get paid. guess the jp tv stations do not even bid on showing stuff. sorry sports country.

I was thinking the same thing about the mens tournement. Shocking to see so many riders simply slip and fall on the turns ! No contact, no push, no shove, no mogul, no jump- just "ooops" !

"why doesn't regular Japanese TV show all the Olympics insteadof just the JP teams with a chance? Pathetic." Now don't let it get to you, the internet is a wonderful option in this day and age. And hey-

A bit uncalled for don't you think ? Again, go to the net- it's all out there, and enjoy ! Right RT ?
