Jonny Moseley finishes Fourth
Team Sprint athlete Jonny Moseley was unable to repeat his 1998
gold medal in mens moguls and narrowly missed a bronze by
.13 of a point.
Moseley finished fourth, despite a flawless execution of his revolutionary
Dinner Roll jump that left the crowd gasping.
Finland's Janne Lahtela won the gold, and U.S. Skier Travis Meyer
took the silver.
Moseley hoped to win his second gold, having won in Nagano in 1998.
After taking two years off from the World Cup circuit, he invented
the Dinner Roll, which includes two side rolls with his body parallel
to theground. Unlike any trick performed by other mogul skiers,
the Dinner Roll has been the subject of much controversy, gaining
much support from fans and media, while failing to score consistently
well with judges.
