what a night!
alarm clock was ringing at 4:50am. Snowboard finals were calling and we had to watch Iouri rocking the pipe in Canada.
First run was looking great. I-Pod dropping. He shows a a nice frontside air, back 9, front double 10, cab double 10, front 5, and a huge claim to finish things off. great performance, Scotty Lago went bigger but I-Pod is on second position.

Well, not to mention that Shaun White went huuuuuge again: method, double cork, cab double, front 5, back 9….

Second run is on. All bail so far.  You can feel the tension in our living room… we keep the fingers crossed for Iouri. Peetu Piiroinen drops in: Front 7, double cork 10, lien, back 9, front 10. It was big. Second place for him.

Now Iouri has to top it! Go Iouri go! front air, back 9, double 10… bailed. That’s it for him. He will stay in fourth position. Not a medal, but we are still proud of you Iouri!

Congrats for your great performance and enjoy after olympic vibes!
