Sad ending for a world champ, Lindsey Jacobellis of the U.S. women's Olympic snowboarding team. She came up short yesterday in the snowboarding cross race.
It is true, like she said, that the world tends to focus on the Olympics as a measure of an athlete's greatness. There are so many other races. BUT. The Olympics falling every four years, it's understandable.
Also: I continue to find it ironic that Coke and McDonald's are two of the main sponsors. As if these top athletes consume them in their steady diet.
