The
Men's & Women's Snowbaord Parallel
Grand Slalom. I had never heard of this event
before the Olympics. I believe this was the first winter games
in which it was a medals event. The event was for both the men's
and Women's finals. The term "parallel" refers to
both men's and women's, not as it is typically associated with
skiing.
Some views of
the venue
Usually,
the competitors were seperated by tenths of a second. Many of the
matches were quite literally photo finishes.
