Those last two days were close. Germany was within three medals, but then Canada came in and shoved them off the podium and grabbed some more medals for themselves, all the while leaving us alone.
So basically the events have realyl trailed off and there aren't many medals getting handed out these days. That being said, we're still winning the ones that are. Just not the golds.
Over the last two days these are the people who are our most recent patriots:
Silver: Men's team large hill nordic combined - Todd Lodwick, Johnny Spillane, Bill Demong, Brett Camerota
Bronze: Women's two-(wo)man bobsleigh - Erin Pac and Elana Meyers
Women's 3,000m relay speedskating - Lana Gehring, Alyson Dudek, Kimberly Derrick, Allison Baver, Katherine Reutter
In addition to all of this, the women's hockey team play for gold against the Canadians, and the men advanced to the semifinals where they play someone other than Canada and Switzerland. Mainly because they just beat Switzerland and a Canada/USA final game will be EPIC. So the IOC won't blow their load just quite yet. The Candians beat the everloving shit out of the Ruskies last night, which makes you laugh at how far the North American countries have progressed in the winter Olympics. Used to be the communists and the Nords, but NO MORE. Another funny thing? The fact that before this year, the Canadians didn't have any gold medals on their home turf. Now they have 7. Crazy bastards.
Oh and another thing, Julia Mancuso is completely right. Lindsay Vonn ain't that hot, and she is basically viewed as the entire womens skiing team. And she completely fucked over Mancuso last night in the Giant Slalom by falling and then not getting back up even though she only broke her pinkie. Man up Vonn. Kick ass tonight Julia. Kick ass for America.
