Womens Downhill and Medal Ceremony

Lindsey Vonn

Yesterday Lindsey Vonn from the USA won the Womens Downhill ahead of fellow American Julia Mancuso and Elisabeth Goergl from Austria.

Another amazing day, lots of sunshine and excitement in the air. I was hoping that the day would later come to become known as ‘Britt Janyk Day’ – but despite racing a great race, her 6th best time left her off the podium

Last night, I went to the medal ceremony, arriving too late to see Vonn get her Gold (I wasn’t the only one due to big lines and security checkpoint time) but watched the rest, including Maelle Rickers Gold (which took place in Vancouver). There was a huge cheer from the crowd for her I did see the medals being awarded to the Mens and Womens Cross Country Sprint Classic podium finishers. I have loved the Olympics all my life, and to see some athletes receive their medals is something special indeed. Years of dedication coming down to (usually) a single day or single run must be a hell of a lot of pressure.
