__WHO__ ** __is Seth Westcott? **WHO** did he beat to win the gold medal in the Men’s Snowboard Cross Final?__ Seth Wescott is a professional Snowboarder, and just won a Gold Medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics. He beat Mike Robertson who got the Silver Medal and Tony Ramoin who got the Bronze. __**WHAT** did he do before the event that showed his confidence that he would win?__ Before the event he was so confident that he packed the American military service flag from the funeral of his grandfather, United States Ski and Snowboard Association, who was at the bottom of the course. When he gave it to them he said " I'm going to need this at the finish line." __**WHERE** was this event raced?__ They raced on Cypress Mountain. __**WHEN** did he previously win a gold medal?__ Seth Wescott previously won a Gold Medal in the same event four years ago in Italy! __**WHY** did some wonder if he could successfully defend his gold this year? **WHY** do you think he triumphed?__ Some wonder if he could defend his gold this year because he was in 17th out of 32 athlets in the first round out of four, and the next three rounds he would have to qualify in 2nd place for all three of them. I think he was triumphant because he set is mind to what he wanted, and he got his Granfathers Military Flag that motivated he to win!
