Congratulations to Wanaka's Kendall Brown, who yesterday won the Canadian Open halfpipe snowboarding event. Kendall is but a wee twenty years old and off to her second Olympics in Vancouver this weekend. She won by just 0.66 over the Canadian Sarah Conrad, but both girls were light years ahead of third place-getter Mercedes Nicoll (also a Canadian).
Kendall, who had the lowest score of the competition after her first run, came back in the second to score the highest.
I know, I know. It was only the Canadian Open, but what an excellent win for a New Zealander so close to the Olympics. I'm actually just a tiny bit optimistic about our team this year!
