Winter Olympics 2006 Torino Snowboard Cross Final

[TheRtHonJA]

I remember watching this live

[LaRangoTangoExperien]

Stick to cooking...

[KingRippo]

@JayBuxton22 Her name is Frieden.

[Jockee1]

4:03 A SWEDISH FLAG YEAAAAH

[gforce1710]

@Jockee1

Pfft.

[eimajecnerwal]

Everything about this is classic, especially the commentary!

[lesliekwan80]

haha. That's what you get for trying to be a pompous showoff when you're in the lead.

[kanervatie]

haahaa

[UnknownStoner420]

stupid american lol

[Griceinho]

got 2 luv ed leigh, wat a commentator :)

[lordgj]

God, calm down Braveheart.

[FunnyHedger]

The standard by which all hotdoggers will be measured.

[blatreille86]

She gives Americans a bad name haha

[kyle887923]

ofcourse, the gold medalist is the only one who doesnt crash

[joshlee013]

near the end it sounds like he is shouting "FRRRREEEEEDDDOOOOOMMM!!!"

[CrashAndBurn35]

this guy is horrible, he doesnt know who is who... it was ricker who went down first, then maltais who went through the fence

[lorendoren2]

Why does he yell "Ibrahimovic" at 1:27?

[tbonewilson]

lmao at the commentator! Awesome.

[lordfenswick]

i remember seeing this and Saying "hey there are two Canadians in the final theres a good chance we could get two medals, what could possibly go wrong?" ha we almost fucking didnt medal, cuz if maltais and ricker couldnt finish the race then the winner of the B final would of got 3rd and even though Lindsay was a moron in that race There was always that thought in the back of my head "we had 2 canadians in a 4 man race and there was for a spilt second a chance that neither of them would medal

[domtv1]

i remember this! brillaint

[geoff5555]

They may take our lives, but they'll never take our FRIEEEEEEEDENNNNNN!!

[Ekoyonix]

FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­NN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lindsey Jacobellis OH MY GOD U FUCKING RETARD NERD EPIC FFFFFAIL! HAHA NOOB FUCKING NOOB KID

[wninitieinidio]

epicfail....

[nodise0920]

うおいｗ

3人転倒したｗ

[Hyebredd]

hahah stupid ass americans, fucking retarded country

[jackkjack]

stop screaming

[musicman2059]

This commentator can't tell his Canadians apart.

Ricker was the first to fall. She actually knocked herself unconscious and doesn't even recall the crash.

But if he couldn't tell them apart then, he probably can now: Maltais wins bronze in Torino, Ricker wins gold in Vancouver :)

[steveperryisawesome]

I thaught it was Maltais who fell first and Maelle Ricker wnet through the fence

[aapje99]

damn that woman's got to hate herself! how the hell can yuo fall in the last jump! XD

[ultimatesimpsonsfan]

finally, i know the commentators names

remember it, hes called ED LEIGH

[Elysi8]

This commentator is HILARIOUS!

I love him :D

[ultimatesimpsonsfan]

best commentator i've ever heard, wish he would do eurovision

[nerdydes]

This commentator is hilarious, I'll give him that, but pretty much fails at his job...apparently, the Canadians are indistinguishable to him.

[jondaken]

Hey, it's the BBC, it's not like they have billions of taxpayers money to spend on decent TV.

/sarcasm off

[steveperryisawesome]

OHHHHHHH!! Maelle Ricker goes straight through the fence! LOL

[steveperryisawesome]

THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!

It certainly was!

[steveperryisawesome]

Notice he said the first one to go down was Freida when in fact it was Maltais.

[TheJoseLorenzo]

THIS...IS...RIDICULOUS!

[abelign1991]

FREEEEEDOMMMM FREEEEEEDOM

[Michaelingolfhansen]

Thats the danger of showing off!

Looks great when it works, but if you fail you look sooooo stupid!

[RayVon246]

FRIEDENNNNN

[vellas87]

typical american showing off

[surrenderboy]

what a loser.. trying to show off but fails to win!

[stumps18]

hahahahaha

[8Eriquo8]

how many times did the commentator make a mistake in this video lol

[ASqUEe183722]

FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!

[jtownvids]

ahah i LOVE THE COMMENTATOR!!

"FREEDOM!!! UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!! WHAT HAS HAPPENED!??! LOL

[Tripyourift2]

I wish this man could commentate my life!!!

[giannicasa27]

GREAT commentator!!

[Mary8002]

WAAAAAAAAAOW MY GODDD!!!!!!!!goosebumps.......­.

[1iamai1]

ha gutted

[AjoseRow]

great commentator. NAAT

[solidbro69]

this announcer gets almost everything wrong...Ricker is the first to fall...its Maltais who goes into the fence and wins the bronze

he says Frieden is "out" cuz she lands on her tail, yet she ends up winning gold?!

and he says Maelle Ricker "through the fence" and "not going to be able to recover in time" but it was Maltais who goes through the fence and ends up winning bronze

figure it out!!!

[steveperryisawesome]

He's over excitment is what makes this clip a classic!

He's more into thatn the actual competitors!

I LOVE IT!!!

[EnzoStarB]

The coach's facepalm at 5:54 says it all.

[floatygabz]

what a retard.

[pitchingtent]

epic fail

[steveperryisawesome]

I never heard of Jacobellis before this. Talk about being infamous. THis is her Bill Buckner moment!

I've never watched this sport before last night.

Why does she grab her board?? Was it to regain her balance or was she showing off??

Who is the announcer?? Give him an EMMY!!!

[frasermack18]

Showing Off....She choked again yesterday

[steveperryisawesome]

it looked more like she clipped Ricker's board and lost her balance could have happened to anybody. I wouldn't qualify that as "choking"

[frasermack18]

maybe not choking, but if your the top rider in the world, and cant get out of the semi's, with a history of crashing....not clutch is the more proper term

[steveperryisawesome]

I watched this last night for the first time. This is probably my favorite Olypmic clip ever!!

OHHH NOOOO! JACOBELLIS IS DOWNNNNNNNNNN!!

THIS IS RIDUCULOUS!! LOL

priceless! The English accent is just icing on the cake!!

[Delafoi]

FREEEDOOOMMM

[Tripyourift2]

@Delafoi LOOOOOL i was thinking the exact same thing! Braveheart ftw!

[seanq10]

dumb broad and dumb announcer

[markyj9361]

this guy screwed up the 2 canadians names about 10 times

[steveperryisawesome]

That's the charm of it. he couldn't hold back his enthusiasm

[kullprit]

Lindsey CHOKE-obellis

[l33tloy]

rickers with gold this year

[akelamark]

At 2:04 announcer sounds like Stewie in the two girl one cup scene from Family Guy

[drfillgood]

Wow, that's a pretty confused announcer!

Way to come back and show them all, Maelle in 2010 on home turf. Too bad Dominique couldn't make it with you to the finals this time.

[HearTBreaKiD023]

LOL Canada FTW

[hexiconned]

Hahaha.

It sounds like he's yelling FREEDOM!!! at the end.

Well she was foolish, too bad she couldn't redeem herself this time.

[shwan59]

shut up at 2:10

[musicianlaurence]

I really liked the woman doing the BBC commentary this year. Full of emotion and variety in her speech. Anyone know her name?

[musicianlaurence]

Plus you simply don't get better than the BBC for sporting commentary.

[bingxguan]

@musicianlaurence OMG so true. I didnt even know who she was until BBC made a commotion about it moments ago on the telly. Props to BBC for the enthusiastic commentary. Hilarious.

[steveperryisawesome]

I agree! I LOVE IT!!

[musicianlaurence]

I love how the whole world comes racing to this clip after the final just now!

[guldklimp]

sorry all americans but i just LOVE this! It's so fun she blowed her gold medal when she tried to show off!

But i actually feel sorry for her race today. Two olympic games and two fails!

[wakeboarder124]

@guldklimp lol i'm not

i'm canadian though hahaha so i really like how it turned out.

[GDon047]

fail!!!

[TSM8088]

How American.

[sickbay]

this event is so intense, i absolutely love it, although it's kind of a crapshoot

[hermankatnip]

they are taking the piss out of her on bbc now

[mark22229999]

this sounds like the same guy who does the darts commentary...ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!

[freqeist]

snowboard cross fail of the highest order.

[topcatrox]

Oh man the commentary is just as epic as Jacobellis' fail. Hilarious!

[djprezence]

hahaha Watching from Vancouver...about to watch the finals and guess who blew another chance at getting into the finals??? Yes Lindsey fucked herself in the semis hahaha GO CANADA!  By the way this was a bad race for the Canadians..I know...but BUAHAH look at that stupid chick!

[mickson86]

FREIDAAAAAAAAAAA! FREIDA!!!!!!!

haha what a commentator

[toph1980]

priceless :)

[TSM8088]

Seriously, this "sport" shouldn't even be an Olympic sport---X-games at best.

Half the skier can't even make it down the hill, and that includes the favorites. A sport in celebration of mediocrity.

[tommoon]

She pulled it off this time . . .

[TNDNL]

i'm thinking for what will happen at this years final. what almost is about to begin:P

[Typosflair]

Such an epic moment.....

[maffiamichiel]

gold for that commentator!

[Uchiha507]

FRIEDEN!!!!!

[pliouso]

LOL wow that show off bitch TOTALLY backfired!

[DrunkCholo]

haha what a tool

[yetanotherguitarist]

Britain may be shit at the winter olympics but at least we lose cos of that - not by being an idiot or getting cocky. Sumer olympics not too bad considering the 3 that came ahead of us were all superpowers.

If only all American athletes were as humble as Seth Wescott and Shaun White - the ones with the most skill by far. Shame about nate holland (oh where did you come yesterday nate? DEAD LAST??) and that idiot speedskater apollo whatever his name is. Arrogant pricks.

[yetanotherguitarist]

Braveheart lol

[ZamatixNL]

ment commentator*

[ZamatixNL]

damn that's one crazy narrator

Anyway, today i hope to see this stuff again, yesterday was awesome as well

[yamato714]

well hes right thats for sure, UNBELIEVABLE indeed, good GAWD what a dumb piece of work.

[msmcgregor]

Best moment of Turin. As our silly Brit commentator says, UNBELIEVABLE!

[PokerVT1]

school boy error

[rags12]

sums up the seppos quite nicely

[AspenJokes]

Ace commentator. He makes something already exciting even more exciting.

[Mitjitsu]

They can take our gold medal, but they can't take our FRIEDEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[bluewhale18]

the bitch got owned

[timgirl100]

doesnt pay to be so cocky

[Gully1Canada]

Great Call

[fredfan4]

FAIL

[THEREALghostlaced]

FFFFFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMM

it was kinda in bad taste though grabbing your board like that - bitch shouldve had some respect for her fellow competitorsm a tru case of the turtle catching the hare!

[LUNATIC75]

There was a good facepalm from the US coach at 5:53.

Freeeiiiiddddan!

[monster90ish]

Silly Yanky Bitch

Freeeiiiiddddan

[some1s69]

HAHAHA...just like the americans to show off...at least she had 4 years to learn how to stick a method air

[masculater]

OMG the person who talks about this (don't know the name for it, cometator??) is soooo funny! FRIEEEDEEEN!!! xD

[Rascasseman]

Ed Leigh? Ski Sunday presenter.

[CharlieSPX]

They can take our lives but they'll never take our FRIEDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

[catcheswinmatches]

lmao sounds like he was trying for a brave heart remake

[MisterEvasion]

The famous hotdogging incident. It was the blunder of the Olympics that year.

Is Jacobellis back for Vancouver 2010?

Maybe she will get another chance.

[zionravescene]

Yes, Jacobellis is back, but Frieden has retired following recent injuries to her Achilles tendons.

[GustavoCLa]

What if 2 competitors fail to reach the final? Who gets the bronze?

[ChaoticRain1]

Women's sports are so fail.

[lostit2bostik]

This is the best event in the Winter Olympics IMHO. Its awesome! :D

[NotImportante82]

I agree, followed by Alpine Skiing, downhill and slalom.

[Lasermannen]

Snowboarding should not be in the Olympics and this shows why.

[PODYC95]

DRAMA DRAMA FRIEDEN

[JTMan72]

I know the american threw it away but....WHAT WERE THE CANADIANS DOING? They both simply just.....fell over???

[hdtrhrh]

Only one fell and she still got bronze...

[csuabo]

Showboating led to #1 of the biggest Olympic gaffes. She chucked away a gold medal to look more "x games". Sad.

[Playncooler]

snowboarding is soo booring

[MarleneNL]

whahaha I have this (a bit longer) on my hard disk but not with such fun commentary. This was the most fun of Turino 2006. Show boating comes for the fall. Great winner. lol

[burrytellam]

Apart from being a brilliant race and a disaster for Jacobellis (and injured racer), listen the commentator:

- 1:27 "ibromimovic" - what is he on about?

- 1:40 "male licker" - a fredian slip, I think

Hilarious!

[JTMan72]

Thats just about the funniest thing ever! Well done. How carried away did the guy get LOL

[robertspringthorpe]

Epic epic EPIC fail!!!!

[GlennBecksTaint]

She choked as bad as the 2004 NY Yankees!!!!

[seancole22]

HAHAHAHA

Thats Karma

[SkiSavoie]

Typical arrogant YANK. What goes around, comes around. Had to try a grab!!!

[nederlandohnederland]

look at 1:06 you see someone fall hard but the commentator does not notice it

[Griceinho]

Yeah, shame Ed Leigh was too busy excited at what was going on at the front, coz it was a spectacular fall and would've got him even more excited. But great race and legendary commentary. One for the ages.

[ElSpewtardo]

haha thats what you get for being a smartarse lol

[metalandjazzare1]

god this looks fun!!! good run gals

[caiocollalto]

hey man just WTF was that?!

Last Man Standing? LOL

[bevanne12]

Lindsey is the Leon Lett of snowboarding

[unlimited00]

@headbean8 she did it on purpose. she said it herself

[orient1961]

Cant deal with the NBC coverage of the Winter Olympics. They just focus solely of the US team. Never got to see the downhill skiing or ski jump last time.

This must be the BBC coverage.....

[enzown]

@orient1961 where did you get that idea? Surely not from the letters BBC stamped over the video, no, of course not.

[KelpStalker]

I am an American and the wife and I though FAIL and boy, did she learn something that day! Great victory to Canada!

[XTFparrot]

erm what? Canada came in last and second last it was Switerland that won.

[davewindsurf]

Ed Leigh you legend

"Freidannn Freidannnn"

[deaks101]

Quite. Hope he is commentating this year.

[AnalMart]

"that one is going to be on 'sports bloopers' for many years to come"...

how true

[EternalSickness]

That's the saddest shit I've ever seen.

[lorofcb2]

how we laughed in switzerland...brilliant victory

[Fwoggie2]

Never mind you Swiss laughing, we were pissing ourselves in the UK!

[KG1982UK]

best comentator ever!

[guavagirliee]

wow

[RandomGuyNo3]

one word, FAIL

[sonichog4]

Amazing......

[gorockgo123]

i wouldnt be happy if that happend you dont deserve to win that far behind

[supersebra]

PLAY HER OFF KEYBOARDCAT!! BUAHAHA

[0iacono0]

lol keyboard kat

[ninetails593]

Ah man poor Lindsey, she had it right there, that's gotta be a crushing defeat.

[fdalpete]

Arrogant bitch deserved it.

[steffers6969]

that commentator is such a legend

[lizzeeblack]

the commentator is called Ed Lee and he is a legend!

[steffers6969]

thanks :D

[Moiez101]

GO CANADA!! WOOOT!! We got this winter olympics baby.

[calpiword]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
