Torah Birght wins Australia's first gold medal at Whistler

Under pressure after falling on her first run, Australian snowboarder Torah Bright strung five technically superior jumps together on her second attempt and landed them all, propelling her to a gold medal in the women's halfpipe tonight at the Vancouver Olympics. Bright, 23, scored 45 points to defeat defending champion Hannah Teter by 2.6. Way to go Aussie girl, you've done us proud.
