Anyone watch Olympic mountain biking?

Caught the men's at midnight last night.....would have loved to have seen the women's!

It was a sad race for Marie-Helene Premont (Quebec rider). This was pretty much her last major race as she's now going to transition to her "real" career. She had an incident happen to her and then her heart rate and breathing went totally out of control, she had to drop out.

That woman has a spectacular smile. I hope she has a great life post-racing. I'm sure she will, she was always very balanced and kept going with her life activities and cross-training at home etc.

Yeah, Dh was watching the women's race and had high hopes for a couple of the Canadian women. It was really too bad she dropped out.

I got to see the compressed showing of the women's race but the DVR cut off most of the men's race. Does the online have a longer version? At first my husband (the mt biker) said "that course doesn't look too hard", then he saw the hairpin climb and that descent and retracted.

Could Sabine Spitz been any happier? It was fun to watch the joy of the medalists.

Yes, the on-line version runs for the entire 2 hours!

scroll down to Search Video and put cycling as the sport ... you can watch the whole race (mens and women's), just the highlights, the crashes and the awards too!

Enjoy!

Boo. I can't get the online version to load on my home computer, work computer, or on DH's laptop!

I can't watch it either. I can't download it at work because I can't download the program to run it, and at home my connection is too slow and it won't load. I wish it would be available in dvd, especially if it's two hours long!
