Freestyle aerialist Jeret "Speedy" Peterson brings a Hurricane to Vancouver with him...in more ways than one. Speedy is the only skier to attempt and perform his signature Hurricane, with 5 spins and 3 flips. His past 2 Olympic experiences were remembered for everything but his jumps. He made the '02 team at the last minute when teammate Emily Cook broke her legs, and then in 2006 he was sent home from Torino after a drunken altercation during a post-competition celebration. Speedy sits in 5th place heading into the February 25, 2010 Olympic finals, where he will attempt to land the Hurricane for the first time in Olympic competition.
