Day Four Olympics

Today was a busy day. In the morning we traveled to Cypress Mountain to see the men's snowboard cross event. This is as exciting as it gets. Four snowboarders traveling down the course at one time. The first two winners in each heat advance to the next round until they are down to just four riders. If you fall you are out of the competition. It was an exciting race. An American named Wescott won the gold medal. Canada took the silver and France took the bronze. Because this venue lacked any snow except what they drove in by truck; it required climbing 240 stairs to get to the stands. Talk about a workout.
