Results of the Vancouver Olympics on snowboarding
At the last Olympic Games, the Russian StanislavChildren in the competition in the giant slalom took fourth place. And he had all the chances to win a bronze medal, but the gates at the start did not open and our athlete fell, naturally, showing in the end the worst (in comparison with the enemy) result (behind him by 0.96 seconds). If we consider that his rival Frenchman named Mathieu Bozetto violated the rules during the course of the race, our Olympic Committee had every reason to file a protest and get a restart. However, for some unknown reasons, this protest did not follow from the committee, and Stanislav had to be satisfied with the "wooden" medal. The best snowboarder from the Russian national team, Ekaterina Tudegesheva, showed the tenth result at the competitions. Who can join the Russian Olympic team on snowboarding at the games in Sochi
Of course, the team of snowboarders will beincluded the already mentioned Children and Tudegeshev. Especially since Catherine after Vancouver twice won the World Cup.

Especially Natalia, who last year took seventh place at the World Cup, and at one stage of the World Cup - the fourth. Good chances for inclusion in the team of Ekaterina Ilyukhina, the multiple winner and prize-winner of Russian championships. And in the reserve staff can be included quite a young (she is only 15 years old), but a very promising girl named Christina Paul. Final lists of participants in the Olympics are not yet ready.
