Beijing 2022: Gold for the Old Ones

At the risk of being offended on someone else's behalf, I was a little un-amused with Nick Baumgartner patting his teammate, Lindsey Jacobellis (USA) on the top of her head.  Regardless, the duo just became the male and female oldest Gold Medalists in the history of the winter games. Their combined age is 76 years old. This is Lindsey's second Gold of these Games and Nick's first Olympic medal after competing in five different Olympics.  Not bad for a couple of old farts.

Beijing 2022: Photo Finish

Eliot Grondin (Canada) went just a tad early with his snowboarder's equivilant of the sprinter's lunge.  Alas, his timing and balance weren't quite what thet should have been and he lost control.  However, I think that Alessandro Haemmerle (Austria) had him beat regardless.  Haemmerle took Gold by two one hundredths of a second, leaving Grondin to claim Silver.  You can just see the feet and board of Omar Visintin (Italy) who took thr Bronze.

Lindsey Jacobellis (USA) has finally atoned for a showboat mistake three Olympic Games back. Then she had a big lead and put a little flair on the fill jump of her race,  She fell.  She was able to jump up and finish for the Silver Medal that year.  The next two Olympics she slid off course.  But this year she put the perfect run together leading the whole way down the course.  Behind her Chloe Trespeuch (France)claimed Silver and Meryeta Odine (Canada) rounded out the podium.
