ROSA KHUTOR, Russia (Reuters) - Even in the cauldronof competition that is an Olympic final, slopestyle snowboarding champion Jamie Anderson was still trying to remember the reasons she originally got into thesport - fun and friendship.
Described by British bronze medallist Jenny Jones as "a bit of a hippy", American Anderson did not buck the stereotype when she was asked why she was smiling at the top of the slope before the run which won her a gold medal on Sunday.
"I think I was just not taking everything too seriously and bringing some light into this," shesaid.
"At the end of the day it's snowboarding and we all started it because of the fun it brings and the joy to be out here on the mountain.
"We're pretty much snowboarding on a playground here. It's hard to find the balance between competition and staying true to yourself and remembering why you started in the first place."
One of the more touching moments of the final came when Sarka Pancochova carefully made her way down the hill after a violent fall that cracked open her helmet.
The Czech was immediately embraced in bearhugs by her rivals in a gesture Anderson said was typical of the sport.
"All the love up there,like, I don't see many events in sports where the girls are such good friends and truly support each other and give each other energy to be their best,"the 23-year-old said.(Reuters) - Even in the cauldron of competition that is an Olympic final, slopestyle snowboarding champion Jamie Anderson was still trying to remember the reasons she originally got into the sport - fun and friendship.
