Olympic Update
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Currently, the US is tied with Germany and stands only behind Russia in the total medal count with seven. Five of those seven have been gold, though, which is the highest number of top finishers from any country.
If it wasn't for "X-Gamers", the US medal count would drop by four. Our country took first and second in the men's and women's halfpipe snowboard event. To whomever had the task of getting X-Games events in the Olympics: Good job!
The other golds have come from Ted Ligety in Alpine Skiing (after bad boy Bode Miller was DQ'd because of a technicality) and Joey Cheek in speed skating (who, amazingly, only took up the sport two years ago).
