Welcome back to our Olympic coverage. Our next competitor in the Road
Gymnastics competition is DH15 from Washington State. She starts her routine
smoothly, showing some excellent Engineering and Pavement as she sweeps
through the mountainous and treed terrain southwest of the junction with DH28
Port Angeles - Hwy 112/113 Jct (Hwy 112). Some nice Scenic elements there. Now
she’s onto the compulsory straightaway. Oh, too bad. There’s plenty of
Remoteness throughout her program so the judges will probably overlook a few
houses, but the valley’s so wide and so many trees have been cleared that
Scenery points will be deducted. But... oh my, what a fantastic finish. Look
at that beautiful lake! She’s finishing up along it with what may be the best
twisting, waterside run of the competition. It’s amazing that she can contort
so much between Lake Crescent and those steep cliffs and still keep her
Engineering form. If it weren’t for the slight drop in Pavement at the very
end and all the sudden traffic, her grand finale would get perfect marks. Even
so, she’s just given one of the best performances of these Olympics.
