SAUZE D'OULX, Italy (CP) - Oops. Jennifer Heil of Spruce Grove, Alta., couldn't believe her ears Saturday night when the stadium announcer called her an American during the flower presentation after her Olympic Games moguls victory.
Heil's jaw dropped at the slip of the tongue and there were boos from the crowd. Announcer Phillipe Richard of Switzerland quickly corrected himself.
"I was a little disappointed," said Heil afterwards. "Hopefully they will raise the Canadian flag and not the American flag" at Sunday's medal presentation.
Peter Judge, chief executive officer for the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association, said Richard apologized for his mistake.
"I know Phillipe really well," said Judge. "He's been around freestyle for almost as long as I have. I'm going 'Jesus Phillipe, how can you screw that up."'
Judge doubted the mistake will be repeated at the medal presentation.
"She'll get the medal and it all will be good," he said. "It will be our flag up there."
Give me a break. How the hell can you come up with this dumbass mistake. Hey, that chump is from Switzerland? Would he like to be mistook for a German...?
