Well, I'd love to make a long post detailing all the medals that Team USA has won in the past week and a half, but as it stands right now we're up to 26 medals (as of the time I'm writing this) and that would take awhile.
26 medals! That's insane! We only won 25 in Torino. We only won 6 (6!) in Calgary - the last time the games were in Canada. And the games ain't over yet!
Right now the medal count looks something like this:
Alpine Skiing: 2 Golds (Lindsay Vonn and Bode Miller), 2 Silvers and 2 Bronze.
Snowboarding: 2 Golds (Shaun White and Seth Westcott), 1 Silver, 2 Bronze.
Speed Skating: 1 Gold (Shani Davis), 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
Freestyle Skiing: 1 Gold (Hannah Kearney), 2 Bronze
Short Track: 1 Silver (Apolo Ohno), 2 Bronze
Figure Skating: 1 Gold (Evan Lysachek), 1 Silver
Nordic Combined: 2 Silvers (First medals EVER in this event!)
And I apologize for spelling any of the athlete's names wrong - those were off the top of my head.
So! With several events to go, how many medals can we rack up? I'm expecting some in bobsled, definitely at least 1 in hockey, and the short track speed skating isn't over yet either! There are so many great performances and so many great moments - this is what the Olympics is all about!
