I think most of us remember Nigel Mansells wave to the crowd that cost him the win at the Canadian GP on the final lap.
Well this is something similar from the 2006 Turin Olympics. The action is from the Womens X Board race. When you join the action there are just 2 snow boarders left from the 4 who started the race (the other two having crashed out). The leader is several seconds ahead of the remaining competator and is cruising to a clear Gold Medal win. With less than 100 yds to go to the end we pick up the coverage.
