Gorgone has qualified for the US team.

I still don't know about the rest of the guys, but so far we have Gorgone riding for the US and Zoe Gillings riding for Great Brittain.

I'm psyched.

Will be great to see the Donek name on TV, and hopefully on the podium!

Congrats Sean! Can't wait to see a Donek on the podium in Turnino.

Gorgone is like a local hero to us here in Massachusetts.

Also a big congrats out to Mike at PTC who has been tuning her boards recently. The proof is in the pudding.

Go Zoe. I work with her brother-former gate basher. Their parents must have done something right.

I'll be watching for pigeon graphics!

Is Adam Smith going to be on the team? I'd love to be able to root for "the local guy" (Bend, OR)

I believe the entire team will be announced by the end of the week, but it's not looking good for any of the guys.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and your team :)

"The injury means Gillings will be riding in hard boots at the Olympics, rather than the soft snowboarding boots she is used to."

A blessing in disguise? :)

When she was here a few weeks ago, she still wasn't sure about that. She had been training in soft boots and felt like she would be fine in them. She was, however, limping a bit.

That's great Sean. Hope to see Michelle on the podium, this is great news for you. Just think, you might need to expand production :D with all the publicity Donek will get. Hope to see you at the ECES
