Women's Snowboard Cross Results
Rain and fog delayed the start of the Women's Snowboard Cross event at Cypress Mountain outside Vancouver, but that didn't stop the ladies from putting on a great show once conditions improved.
Canadian Maelle Ricker beat out Debra Anthonioz from France and Switzerland's Olivia Nobs to take the Gold medal. Anthonioz finished second for the silver, with Nobs finishing third to take home the bronze. American Lindsey Jacobellis was knocked out earlier in the day, preventing her from redeeming herself after an embarassing crash during the 2006 Games in Torino.
This is a momentous day for both Ricker and Canada, as her victory marks Canada's second Gold medal of the games, alongside freestyle moguls skier Alexandre Bilodeau. Ricker is a North Vancouver local.
