After a show in snowboard cross for Michela Moioli the disappointment for the blue in the cross race at the Beijing Olympics is great.
The Italian flag-bearer was in fact eliminated in the semifinals: after a good start, the blue let her opponents vent in the first corners and got behind.
The French Trespeuch overtakes her and sends her to third position: she fails to recover in the final and is sensationally eliminated.
Moioli, reigning Olympic champion and always first up to here, the small finals will be played from 5th to 8th place.
