I want to talk, I NEED talk about Mélissa Hollingsworth. Since she had won the bronze Medal on skeleton 4 years ago in Turin, this young lady was the Queen of her discipline. No need to say that with all the pressure put by Canada on our athletes, she needed to win the gold medal. On her last descent, it was almost certain that she was going to get the Silver, getting the gold being almost impossible because of the great performance of her rivale Amy Williams. But the worst happened, and she finished fifth.
The critics are hard with her and qualify this performance like disastrous. I would like to see them going down there and do better? I hope she will be able to keep her mind positive and strong and that her sponsors will stay behind her. She is the best, and, shit happens. And it happened to her today and it was not just her fault: How Canada possibly thought of finishing first on the medal run?
