On This Day In Sports
This Day In Sports…February 25, 2010, 16 years ago yesterday:
Boise’s Jeret “Speedy” Peterson flies 50 feet in the air and lands his famed Hurricane jump to win a silver medal in the men’s aerials at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Peterson had been a longshot after the first round, sitting in fifth place, but he brought the house down with his legendary second jump. “This is the best day of my life,” he told KTVB after the competition.
