Top finishers at the SA DH WC 2009

Drama at the finish:

 

The atmosphere was red hot...  The local boy Greg was on the course but no one at the finish line could tell what his time was.  Chris Kovarik third last had a technical issue on course and the scoreboard held his time.. Chris came in just before Greg.  Even Freecaster got the wrong guy in there video.  Chris came in after 6 mins followed 5 seconds later by Greg.  Alot of us thought that Chris was Greg.. even the commentators.

 

It all ended in spectacular fashion with Santa Cruz taking top spots.

Chris Kovarik getting a hero's welcome at the end of his 6m30s run.  All of us thinking it was GM.
