Saturday morning, December 4,2010 in Beaver Creek, CO. A beautiful day with some light snow on the hill. The hill has been remarked from the downhill to the Super-G. Excitement is back from a disappointing day yesterday. Racers begin at 11am. Super-G starts at 11,940 elevation and finishes at 8,944.
The Super-G began with a native america
group praying for the racers safety as well as the crowd and care for Mother Earth.There was a large crowd in hand for the Super-G. The USA fans were in force and ready to greet their athletes.
The hill is ready and beautiful. The track is fast. Georg Streitberger from Austria, 1:17:18 took the race followed by Adrien Theaux, France, 1:17:29 and Didier Cuche from Switzerland, 1:17:31.
First USA racer across the line was Steven Nyman, 1:18:88. Five USA, racers including Bode Miller and Ted Ligety did not cross the line, going out of bounds prior to the finish. Many of those going out of bounds lost it at the Screech Owl turn.
It was a tough day for the Americans at Beaver Creek as well as the Bobcats in Bozeman, Montana.
As well as the World Cup is the Bobcat playoff at 12:05pm in Bozeman, Montana. What happened? The Bobcats lost with a score 49-17 to North Dakota. Well, at least we beat the Grizzlies.
