Benny’s Sports My Way: Vancouver Winter Olympics: Team USA Medal Update:

Hello sports fans, well one week done and the final week left to enjoy the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in the Great White North. Lot’s of incredible Team USA performances like  Bode Miller winning a Gold on the Men’s Super-Combined, a Bronze in Downhill and a Silver in the Super-G and Lindsey Vonn taking the Gold in Women’s Downhill and a Bronze in the Super-G. How about Evan Lysacek taking the Gold in Men’s Figure Skating (the first Gold since Brian Boytano captured Gold in the 1988 Olympics) with a win over a very indignant Russian Yevgeny Plushenko who performed an amazing “Quad” rotational jump! Team USA still is in the lead with 7 Gold, 9 Silver and 10 Bronze Medals for a total of 26 medals. Fan favorite snowboarder Shaun White won Gold in the Men’s Half-pipe and Seth Wescott took the Gold in Men’s Snowboard Cross. Speed skater Shani Davis took Gold in the Men’s 1000m outdueling fellow American Chad Hedrick who took home a Bronze. The most decorated American Winter Olympian-speed skater Apolo Ohno (Gold, Silver and Bronze in 2006; Gold and Bronze in 2002; Silver and Bronze in 2010) is also a 2007 Dancing With The Stars champion!! And Hannah Kearney took the Gold in Women’s Moguls skiing. All in all, Team USA has rocked! Lot’s of great effort by our amazing USA team in all events.
