Jasey Jay Anderson's victory in men's PGS on Day 16 continued a late gold rush for Canada, and added a long-missing Olympic title to a career in which he had accomplished virtually everything else. Austria's Benjamin Karl took silver.
Conditions weren't ideal at Cypress Mountain on Day 15 for the women's parallel giant slalom, but Nicolien Sauerbreij of the Netherlands didn't let the persistent rain keep her from winning the first Dutch Olympic snowboarding medal. Russia's Ekaterina Ilyukhina took silver and Austria's Marion Kreiner
Australia's Torah Bright took over the top of the Olympic podium on Day 7, defeating the past two champions in women's halfpipe: Americans Hannah Teter (silver) and Kelly Clark (bronze). That gives the U.S. five overall snowboarding medals thus far at the Olympics.
Shaun White landed his famed Double McTwist 1260 on the last hit of his last run -- even though he already had the gold medal in the bag. His score of 48.4 out of 50 gave White his second Olympic title. U.S. teammate Scotty Lago won the bronze.
Lindsey Jacobellis' shot at redemption from a fall in the 2006 Olympics was not to be in Vancouver, as the American was eliminated in her semifinal race when she rode through a gate. Canadian Maelle Ricker took advantage and won gold, becoming the first Canadian woman to win an Olympic gold medal on home soil.
Seth Wescott was the defending Olympic champ and a favorite to win in 2010, but he needed a thrilling comeback in the men's snowboard cross final to actually become the first U.S. snowboarder to win two golds.
