Benny’s Sports My Way: Canada Shocks Team USA In Overtime To Win Gold!
A fitting way to end the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Team Canada won the Gold Medal in Men’s Ice Hockey with an overtime 3-2 win against Team USA. Canada’s Sidney Crosby scored the winning goal past USA goalie Ryan Miller with 7.40 minutes left in overtime. Team USA still claims the number one spot with 37 total medals and 9 Gold. Team Canada claims the most Gold medals with a total of 14. Apolo Ohno became the most decorated USA Winter Olympian winning a total of 8 medals-three in Vancouver (Silver in the 1500m, Bronze in the 1000m and Bronze in the 5000m relay- Short track).
Here is the final medal count for Team USA. Amazing performances despite starting out with tragedy in the Luge. The Nerdel News salutes all of the athletes from Team USA and all of the teams-incredible job!!! For more 2010 Winter Olympic news, go to www.nbcolympics.com
