We went up to the Women's Downhill today - see the photo album "Olympics Day 6 - Women's Downhill". The weather was amazing and the race was impressive. This is Catherine's favorite run at Whistler (well that's favorite out of the subset that she can actually ski down!) - "Franz's Run". It has spectacular views (not that the 100km/hr racers were looking at the view!). It was a really difficult run - bumpy, funky lighting, fall away turns, big air - there were several wipe-outs but the medal winners all skied incredible runs. We were just behind Julia Mancuso's (silver medal) Mom - we have a couple of good photos of what it's like when your daughter skis for silver.
