I’m well stoked for the strong American presence on the podium but as a mountain biker, I was cheering for Graves and felt that he was robbed of his medal. He had been strong all of quarter and semi-finals and was looking good up until the second berm. It’s a bummer for Graves, he always has some questionable luck (ex: last year’s World Champs 4X).
PHIL! I AM TOTALLY WITH YOU!!! I was really rooting for Graves. If you go to his website and read his blog, you will find out that he is a TRUE athlete. Very cool about his loss and very positive about the experience. Im definitely even more of a fan now than I was.
BUT, I am disappointed about Kinter - I wanted her to have gold - BUT to see another downhiller take it will definitely do until the next summer games.
i’m happy for latvian rider - maris strombergs
and sad for jared graves. 
Graves always gets screwed. I feel bad for him
Kitner is NOT a downhiller! Ann Caro is in a league of her own - male or female from any country. She has won at world level in DH + 4X & now she’s added the first BMX Olympic Gold to her groaning trophy shelf… and at the age of 30 or is it 31… there is hope for us all
No one said Jill Kintner (not Kitner) was a downhiller
ACC is definitely in a league of her own though.
It’s nice to see it again, I completely stopped watching after Graves went down, i was so upset.
Mike Day rules…not only did he out perform all the riders consistently but he came home with the Silver!!!!!
