Shaun White and Scotty Lago

My favorite picture of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada. Taken right after Shaun White won his 2cd gold medal. He is celebrating with Bronze medalist Scotty Lago. It just shows true emotion and you can tell how happy they are.

2010 Olympics -Snowboarding

The half pipe was one of my favorite events in this Olympics. Shaun White of course won Gold. His first run was so amazing he did not even need to do a second run, but of course he did and even landed his amazing new trick the Double Mc Twist 1260. Scotty Lago from the US won bronze. For the women Torah Bright of Australia won Gold, Hannah Teter of the US won Silver and Kelly Clark also of the US won Bronze. My favorite going into the games was Gretchen Bleiler but after falling came in the finals came in 11th. Seth Westcott of the US won Gold in Snowboard Cross for the men and Maelle Ricker of Canada won Gold in the women's event. Going into it Seth was my fav for the men and Lindsey Jacobellis was my fav for the women, she went off track in the semi's and got disqualified .

The 2010 Olympic winter games started in Vancouver Canada last Friday night. We have had the games on most nights. So far we have watched Apollo Anton Ohno win silver in short track. We watched Hannah Kearney win gold and Shannon Bahrke win silver in women's freestyle moguls. We watched some of Bode Millers qualifying runs, he ended up winning the bronze in men's Alpine downhill. We watched some luge events, it is not really a sport I am into. We watched men's Snowboard Cross last night, one of my favorite events, Seth Wescott from the USA won gold, in his second Olympics in a row. Tonight we watched Women's Snowboard Cross, it wasn't in our cards to get a medal. Lindsey Jacobellis who won Silver four years ago was slated to win but she lost control and went off track during the semi's. So sad I really wanted her to win. Saturday we watched some Ski Jumping, the normal hill, the large hill is my favorite. I am excited to watch the men's and women's snowboarding half pipe. I don't want to jinx anything but I am hoping Shaun White will win again. We watched men's figure skating tonight and will probably watch the finals on Thursday night, the were wearing some very interesting costumes. My predictions are Evan Lysace (USA), Gold, Yevgeny Plushenko (Russia), Silver and Johnny Weir (USA), bronze. I will probably watch some of the women's figure skating even though I am not too familiar with either of the two skaters from the United States.
