Yesterday was a great day for Team USA. With a total of six medals, 3 of which were gold, the US leads in the medal count with 14, followed by Germany with 10. Lindsey Vonn made history yesterday when she won gold in Women's Downhill Alpine Skiing. Shani Davis defended his title and won gold in Men's 1000m Speed Skating. And then, if that's not enough, Shaun White, the Flying Tomato, defended his gold with a Double McTwist 1260 to win in Men's Snowboard Halfpipe. I think the crowd might be getting to know the Star-Spangled Banner by now as it's been played 5 times now at the medal ceremonies.
So far the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver have not disappointed. Team USA leads with 4 medals so far, and that number will continue to rise. So far, I've been pretty excited to see Apolo race, sad he didn't win gold though. However, in another event, which looks like its asking for knee trouble, Freestyle Skiing, Hannah Kearney won, but I was rooting for Jenn Heil to attain Canada's first gold medal. Some of the best athletes I've ever watched and enjoyed seeing were Canadians, Jamie Salé and David Pelletier, pairs figure skaters in 2002, and Catriona LeMay Doan, Speed Skater, also in 2002.
