Vancouver Olympics, Entry 5
I’ve never been one for facades or presentations – I tend to prefer straight-laced honesty. With that said, I would just like to express that I am not very pleased with myself tonight. I can shoot better. Today was weak. That is all.
United States rider Lindsey Jacobellis ignores pleas from an NBC correspondent for an interview after crashing during the semi-finals. After a heart-stopping crash only yards away from the finish line and a gold medal in Torino, Jacobellis was a strong contender for gold in Vancouver.
(As a closing note – I can’t tell you how often I make fun of sunset photos. But what the hell, this was the first time in a week the sun has come out long enough for a photo, and it was the end of the day on the bus – Vancouver, the ocean water and mountains looked amazing. This corner of the globe aint so bad.)
