The womens snowboarding was interesting... that thing where they go down a set course, lots of turns and jumps... I forget the name of it now...
Anyway there was this "outside-chancer" from Brazil, the only Brazillian to ever enter Snowboarding in any form in the Olympics. She was way behind in last position, the other three were ahead looking like it would be the typical run (more experienced boarders from the top snowboarding countries coming first to 3rd). Then, suddenly all 3 fall down, the Brazillian zooms past them, and ends up finishing first!
I was only watching here and there but that bit really caught my eye. That's the kind of thing you see in a film, so to see it happening for real... man it must've taken some pretty good deeds in a past life to pull that off.
