Yea, I saw that one last night, tough break for the girl... that's the thing with the Olympics, dreams get shattered right and left...

just think if THAT was you. Imagine living with that performance on the world stage for the rest of your life...

Mommy tell us the story of when you were in the Olympics again! NO GO CLEAN YOUR FUCKING ROOM BEFORE I KILL YOU!

Wow, I didn't see that one, sucks to be her. This begs the question though, is it worse to crash at the beginning or right before the end? So far this Olympics has seen both.

teh beginning. at the end, at least people knew what you were capable of, and you took a fall in a place that made sense.

you didn't "choke" and fall out of the flat area of the gate any 12 year old and a ski lesson could slide down.

Really....tragic.

She will be famous, like that ski jumper they show on the wide world of sports intro. :P

Falling at the end can be worse... Goodbye gold, hello embarassment. Is it worse choking, or assuming you've won, and throwing it away?
