Again, a missed gate has ended competition for our athletes.
First Scott Parsons - who I saw today in very good spirits with his very supportive girlfriend and Fraker - get's a "50" and now the fantastic pair of Rick Powell and Casey Eichfeld.
Years of work, sacrifice and (quite frankly) money went into getting these two fine young men to Shunyi and a 50 knocks them out on their second run - just like Scott.
They did so well in their first run too.
I'll tell you, though, they handled it like very disappointed champs.
And what the heck do you say to these three guys? Better luck next quad? How do you put a "sorry" onto something of this magnitude?
The only good news is that they are great kids, have loads of talent and are young. Like really young. Like "I could be their Dad" young. Does that say more about my advancing years or their youth. Who cares?
All I can say is WATCH OUT LONDON in 2012!!
