though last, it's great that he finished.
TURIN, Italy - The snow, which came down in a blinding swirl, was sticky and slow. The wax was all wrong, attracting moisture to the skis of Drexel professor Prawat Nagvajara in yesterday's 15-kilometer Olympic cross-country event.
And then there was the ski pole that broke with about 5 kilometers left.
It broke when he fell.
It was not his first fall.
"I fell a few times on the downhills," said the lone member of the Thailand Olympic team, who finished last.
"The Belarus team gave me an extra pole," he said.
And he finished, which was all he hoped to do, after not finishing in the 30K at Salt Lake City in 2002. That, and avoid being lapped, which for the most part, he also did.
