Welcome to Vancouver 2010

Although I was unable to update during the Super Bowl this year, I must say, what a game! (And GO SAINTS, of course!)

This year, we're lucky to be able to view the Winter Olympics game this year (now we have something to watch between football and baseball)! I advise you all to turn to NBC and get ready.

I have never been so excited for the Winter Olympics. Friday night's events definitely set the tune for the Olympics. It all started with Apolo Ohno in the short track speed-skating prelims. If you didn't see this, you need to. Starting out in the back, taking his time and then with only a few laps left, he quickly bolts to the front and wins, just like that.

Although, in the finals, he got boxed out by a couple of Koreans (who later in the race knocked each other down), and got the silver medal.

The last event on Friday was so thrilling. The energy in the room was so high. Hannah Kearney, the 23 year old from Vermont, edged out the competition by a point! And Shannon Bahrke from the United States managed to capture the bronze.

Currently, the United States is in first place with most medals earned with

Scott Wescott, gold --> Men's Snowboard Cross
Todd Lodwick, silver --> Nordic Combined (ski jump)
Bryon Wilson, bronze --> Men's Moguls
Apolo Ohno, silver --> Men's short track 1500m
J.R. Celski, bronze --> Men's short track 1500m
Hannah Kearney, gold --> Women's Moguls
Shannon Bahrke, bronze --> Women's Moguls
Johnny Spillane, silver --> Nordic Combined (10km)

That's it up through day 4 right now.

Go U.S.A!
