USA Takes 3 Golds Last Night

Categories:



Last night at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, the USA brought home 3 golds in my favorite events

Snowboard Half Pipe was brought home by the one and only Shaun White. That guy is just pure talent. A few weeks ago before the Olympics, he participated in the Winter X Games where he was involved in a nasty accident, but got up and an hour later took home first place with his new signature trick. Lago Scott won the bronze for the USA in this event.

Lindsey Vonn managed to pull the gold medal while having a bruised shin. That's pretty amazing considering the amount of stress they put on their legs when making those turns. We also silvered this even with Julia Mancuso's run.

And finally Shani Davis, the first Black to win a gold winter olympic event, defends his title in the 1000m speed skating even and becomes the first person ever to do it.
