THE CITY OF CARMEL IS BEING REPRESENTED IN WOMEN’S HALF-PIPE SKIING IN THE SOCHI OLYMPICS. 24-YEAR-OLD BRITA SIGOURNEY MADE SECOND-HIGHEST SCORES IN THE QUALIFYING ROUND. SIGOURNEY CRASHED DURING ONE OF HER FINAL RUNS, SCRATCHING HER FACE, BUT STILL MANAGED TO SNATCH A SIXTH-PLACE FINISH. THE MONTEREY BAY NATIVE AND THE EVENT BOTH MADE THEIR OLYMPIC DEBUT THIS WINTER.
