"Means she grabbed her board trying to impress her fans and mock her competitors...
quite stupid."
Stupid???
It is those very hot dogging qualities that got Lindsay to her current #1 in the world position in snowboarding.
I felt that her interview last night and the general tsk tsking that was going on by the commentators was so uncalled for.
It's like NBC was all collectively hand wringing and "if Only'ing" while Lindsay was trying to enjoy her 2nd place win - nothing to sneeze at.
Who cares if she crashed at the end of her run? She is a gutsy, beautiful young athlete who put it all on the line for her sport and for her country. And I hated watching the dissing of her, to her face by Bob Costas, while she was trying to enjoy the fact that she did awesome overall, and got a medal, but nobody wants to praise her for it.
I praise her, for her lifetime of fearless competition, training, and willingness to compete in a sport that put several snoboarders in the hospital yesterday.

I agree, a silver medal is great...BUT
She * Ham'd * it up to brag and mock...is that sportsmanship?
She deserves to be mocked, hope it makes her a stronger person.
