A quick glimpse of what you’re about to see is right here. To see how in the world gold medal favorite Hannah Roberts ends up in this position and lands safely, you’re just going to have to watch, either now or on the highlights section of the site of the broadcaster of your choice (or country).

Good morning/evening all. The Olympics have been adding more events in which people on wheels and surfboards do things that ordinary people can’t do on wheels and surfboards. In this case, in a little less than an hour, we’re going to see women flip, spin and do other tricks that will amaze those of us who prefer our bicycles to remain on the ground.
If you have thoughts about what you’re seeing or what you’re reading, email me or tweet at me at the links above, won’t you?
Beau will be here shortly. In the meantime, here’s news of a grim incident from the men’s BMX:
American BMX racer Connor Fields suffered a brain bleed during a horror crash in Friday’s Olympic event but has been moved out of intensive care, his team confirmed on Saturday.
