Yes, she is happy and proud of her achievment. Maelle worked so hard since the last Olympics where she crashed. But when one loves a sport as much as these athletes do it must be lots of fun too.
Snowboarding is dangerous and sure ain't for sissies. One of my gsons broke his back snowboarding a few yrs ago.

Snowboarding does look really dangerous.... but so is driving on Interstate 5! haha.

I used to love going with a couple other ladies on the I-5 to the Seattle flower show every year. I only drove once and i chickened out by parking at Northgate mall and taking the shuttle bus in. One year it was a horrible winter with snow and ice and cars sliding off the road everywhere and we took the big safe bus from here. Even so that was a memorable ride!

Haha, that's quite a story. We are never quite ready to deal with snow here in Seattle....
