Source:yahoo.com   VANCOUVER, British Columbia – If Canada wants to “Own the Podium,” it might need to buy it from the United States. Americans dominated from the mountains to the city Wednesday, winning six medals, including golds in women’s downhill, men’s 1,000-meter speedskating and men’s snowboard halfpipe. That set a U.S. record for a single day of the Winter Olympics (five medals, including three golds, at Salt Lake City in 2002). “It’s history, man,” said Shaun White, who won gold in men’s halfpipe. “Shake ‘n’ bake.” “It’s an unbelievable feat and for us to be a part of it is an honor,” said Chad Hedrick, who took bronze in speedskating. “I’m proud to be an American. I’m proud to represent my country. We work hard to have the people in their living room watching us [be] proud.” The pride was shared throughout Team USA. And there was no better visual to end it than the soaring sight of White, red hair flapping behind him as he nailed the groundbreaking “Double McTwist 1260” – where he flipped twice while completing 3˝ revolutions – to secure his snowboard gold. Even more breathtaking, he didn’t even need to attempt it. “I just felt like I didn’t come to Vancouver not to pull out the big guns,” White said. “It was the savvy thing to do. Saucy. Keep it weird.” By not playing it safe – or keeping it weird – he offered up the ultimate testament to the Americans – superior athleticism, daring creativity and a go-for-broke attitude. The medals left the United States atop the total count with 14. Germany is second at 10, France has 7. |
