Olympic Let Down

02/12/2014

Well Shaun White didn't reach the podium tonight. Such a huge disappointment. If I feel as down it about as I do then I can't imagine how he feels.

The half pipe was shit.

Granted, he's 27 and he's all beat to hell from injures. A lot of factors played into his fourth place performance and I feel bad for him. This may or may not be his last Olympics but I know it won't be his last competition. He's the best snowboarder alive. Sure Yuri managed a clean run in the slush pit they called a pipe.. But if it would have been smooth and frozen things would have been different.

I've ridden on a choppy half pipe and its ridiculous that these guys could do what they did on it.

Anyway, props to Yuri, I feel for Shaun White.

The End.

I'm still bummed about it. I mean, yeah, good for Yuri, but still. I may have to discuss my feels with a cookie. Or two.

I wanted him to medal as well. Felt the same let down tonight when Hannah finished 4th. It's funny, 4th best in the world at something is an AMAZING accomplishment but finishing outside the medal podium, it makes you more of an also ran that no one remembers, it doesn't get documented with the same furor. Any one of the top 5 could win on any night, I'm sure.
