USA Team Almost had another Gold

 

Winter Olympic, The world's top skier fell and was disqualified during the slalom portion of the women's super combined event at Whistler this Thursday. Lindsey Vonn of team USA almost had its second Gold.
She had been leading after the downhill run earlier in the day, but a tough opening section of the slalom appeared to have her headed toward a silver medal before the fall. Germany's Maria Riesch, Vonn's best friend and longtime rival, had put the pressure on one run earlier with a blazing time; the world's No. 2 ranked skier was the eventual winner of the event.
