We are so sorry to see Scott Parsons fail to move onto today's semifinals in the K1. He missed a gate - BARELY - late in is second run and got a 50 second penalty. Without the penalty, he would have easily made the semis.
What a class act he is. He did great interviews with NBC, Washington Post and AP in which he was calm and collected. He sets a great example and is what being an Olympian is all about. "No regrets" he said, and I believe him.
His family - who are great folks - were upset, naturally, but very proud of Scott - we all are.
Benn Fraker - he of the black painted fingernails - kept focused after a self-described dissapointing first run - and will participate in the semis today.
Wish him luck!!
