Meanwhile the press and some athletes say that Olympic officials should have shut down the event altogether due to the inclement weather.  USA Today is reporting that only 5 of the 25 riders successfully finished their initial runs in the windstorm, whose gusts measured in excess of 20+mph at certain points in the morning.

But through all the meteorological curveballs, Anderson held steady, winning the event and taking home her second Olympic gold in slope-stlyle.

Congrats Jamie Anderson!
