philfell Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Interesting to see Cristelle's name for PGS. I'm glad though she is a great racer and could be one of the best, she just got a little side tracked with all her SBX concussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boardbum Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Glad to see Christelle back. She needs to stick with PGS. And if she does come back to SBX, then she needs to learn on when to pull the throttle back, this girls has a go for broke mentality which has given her problems in SBX. If she figures that out she could be great competition for Lindsay J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBee Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Others news releases from CSF: http://www.csf.ca/en/about/news/?id=466 Cristelle Doyon is not anymore on the list. This would have been surprising since she didn't enter a PGS/PSL since 2 years and is on the injury list since almost a year. Last news I heard about her, she has retired from any racing, due to too many head concussion...

philfell Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 That's why I thought it was "interesting", there is always coaches discreation though. If the coaches thought she was a better person to go than the next lady in line the coaches can come up with a reason to justify her going.

Guest Boardbum Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thats to bad SBX needs more woman like her for better competition. Rumor has it she wants to pursue her education to become a Doctor. Good luck to her she will be missed:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Boardbum Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Dom did get a medal in Torino. Lame that the CSF missed that one. Doesn't surprise me, your talking about a organization that has a athlete that is probably one the most decorated snowboarder in the world and most of Canada has never heard of him. When Jasey won his 50th world cup medal it was never mentioned on the CSF website. This guy should be more popular than S White. I think if he was American he might have had chance.

crote123 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I believe it's YYZ that added those tags. They don't appear on the PR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crote123 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 doh! I only looked at the initial PR... The second one (which has the tags) does describe in the NR, Dominique's accomplishments in the Olympics: "while Dominique Maltais of Petite-Rivière Saint-François, Qué., 2006 Olympic Bronze medalist in snowboardcross, is ready to make her mark once again." They just missed adding the tag... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason why anyone outside of snowboard racing has heard of Chris Klug is because he was the first organ donar receiver who won an Olympic medal. The general public does not know who Graham Watanabee is dispite winning the Jeep Overall, being the first American to win an SBX World Cup (he won two before Wescott won his first) and getting a silver in the x-games. It isn't USSA promoting Shawn White, it's his agents and his sponsors. People like to "Do the Dew" and Mtn. Dew does not do alpine snowboarding.

Guest Boardbum Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I hear ya Phil. I guess what I am saying is that if Jasey was American that some aggressive agent would have picked him up along time ago and he would have been on a box of Wheaties by now. Lets face it most of the top sporting events are run by corporate America. And thank god for that because with out them, there would not be a lot of sporting events. ie Xgames and Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 ...there would not be a lot of sporting events. ie Xgames and Olympics I dissagree with that. Olympics were well and sound (I would argue even better of) before they were totally comercialised. With the heavy involvement of the corporate business and the "mafia" running the show, the real spirit of Olympism was gone. The greatest technical skier of all times, Ingmar Stenmark, wasn't allowed to participate in Sarajevo Winter Olympics (that was the one before Calgary), because he had semi-proffessional status with Elan. After that, slowly but shurely, the soul of sport got sold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
