I don't think it'll ever come to their minds...I wish it would though.
I think they already know, but are still going through the phases.

Seeing the Olympic flags at half mast was pretty touching. Not sure if there is such a thing as an honorary, medal, but it would a nice gesture to give his parents one.

When Georgia entered and everyone stood and most removed their hats, well that is the only way that should have happened.

this really is tragic. But unfortunately there's always the risk of death with all high risk sports. I really find it disturbing the way all of my local channels have been replaying his death over and over again, each time more slowmotion then the last

I think the larger tragedy isn't so much his death itself(shit happens :cry: ) but the fact that after all that practicing and preparation the guy went out a day before he got to even perform. Its like a sick joke. And so it goes...
