OZ strikes gold at the WINTER games again! This time in women's aerial skiing (fun to watch). Great story, the Aussie aerial team was formed only 4 years ago, with trampoline gymnasts, they went to Whistler BC, where they LEARNED TO SKI first. Then jumps into the pool, then on to the snow. They had one of the favorites by the name of Jackie Cooper (!) however she didn't qualify for the final. A lesser known Alisa Camplain (spelling?) just DAZZLED with her two jumps for gold. What a great reaction, she just kept saying "Oh my God, I can't believe it!". My favorite was "I won!" "What do I do?" Good on ya OZ, Brenner and Dionne of Canada for silver and bronze (somewhat surprising too).

In 10 years time who will remember the winner of any thing else (not incl. ice skating) in Salt Lake.But the Aussie that won the Gold really "pulled a Homer".
Well done
