The World Competes

Canada wins in the final Olympic event, ice hockey, and breaks the record of the most gold medals in a single game. Good job!

The Olympics has inspired me to increase my fitness, and also to walk for babies. Please consider sponsoring me.

Most of the Olympic events concluded today; the men’s 50 km cross country skiing race, men’s ice hockey final, and closing ceremony are all that is left.

Joannie Rochette skated her way to a bronze medal in Vancouver, even though her mother died two days before the short program.

Friday was a day for final races. Apolo Ohno won the team bronze in what might be his last Olympic race, while Sarah Schleper raced in the slalom.

While many of us were focused on the Olympics, elsewhere in Vancouver, Growing Pains’ “Boner” Stabone committed suicide.

Today was a history making day for the US, with no US figure skating winner for the ladies competition since 1964, but the first nordic combined gold ever.

Upsets occur as aerialists fall, skaters are disqualified, and skiers crash.

Lindsey Vonn is one of the best alpine skiers in the world right now. She won her first gold medal in the downhill race, after badly bruising her shin.

On day 12 of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the US won its first nordic combined medal ever; women’s ski cross made its debut without any US entrants.
