WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. - In an emotional news conference after the Olympic ski-cross event at Cypress Mountain Sunday, Canada's Chris Del Bosco fought back tears and struggled to explain how he wound up fourth.

"I wanted to win," he said. "I know what I'm capable of, and I hold myself to a pretty high level. So I'm always, no matter what the race, going for first place."

As four skiers sped toward the finish line in the finals, Del Bosco appeared to have the bronze medal wrapped up. But he saw a chance to make a move for second, trimming a final turn a little too tight, going a bit too fast - and flew sideways into a snowy heap. Gold went to Michael Schmid of Switzerland. Andreas Matt of Austria took silver and Norway's Audun Groenvold earned the bronze.
