In an event invented and dominated by Americans for years, it's disappointing that those who have dominated the World Cup in the Moguls event for years were shut out of the medals in Torino.
Jeremy Bloom, former football player for the University of Colorado and NFL hopeful was expected to challenge for gold; but a less than perfect landing off of his second air doomed his chances.
In the end, it was Toby Dawson with a lightning fast run through the middle section of the course, two amazing airs including the one pictured here, and a silky smooth run through the moguls that resulted in his triumphant finish, to the joy of his mother and all the members of his fan club cheering from the stands. Awesome Dawson! Congratulations!

Hey Matt, love the new look! Just a suggestion, but you may want to bold your posts because it's a little hard to read against your background.
Also, I think I may have found a web designer. I;m doing a little research on them and if it still looks good after that, I'll pass along the info.
BTW, thanks for sending the pic to me. I just love it!
