Snowboard Half-pipe

Watching replays of Shaun White's snowboard run and also watching video of him on skateboard half pipe, I am very impressed by the athleticism, imagination and enthusiasm displayed by the young, gangly redhead.  Kudos also to two-time medalist Danny Kass who scored his second Silver.

Markku Koski of Finland took Bronze while another Finn, world champion Antti Autti dropped to 5th.  Finland may be the best per capita Winter Olympians, - maybe.
