Winter Olympics

I love watching the Olympics. I love listening to the stories of the athletes, and what they had to go through to make it to the Olympics. It is inspiring.

I prefer the summer Olympics over the winter Olympics, but I do have some favorite events in the winter Olympics. My favorite events are short track speedskating, downhill skiing, and halfpipe snowboarding. I loved watching Apolo Ohno speedskate in previous Olympics.

This year there have been some pretty big upsets for the US team for medals. Here are the few so far:

1. Downhill skiing--Bode Miller
2. Downhill skiing--Julia Mancuso
3. Halfpipe snowboarding--Shaun White
4. Speedskating--Shani Davis
5. Short track speedskating--J.R. Celski
