Winter Olympics

After years of futility and average performances by American athletes in most of the winter Olympic sports, Americans have suddenly become a dominant force in the winter games, thanks to people like Shaun White, Apolo Ohno, Shani Davis, and Lindsey Vonn. Sure, we've had some great individual performances in the past from the likes of Eric Heiden and Bonnie Blair, but until this year, the US had never metaled in Nordic events like the Nordic Combined. Johnny Spillane changed that. To be sure, Americans have been helped at the medal podium from some of the new sports like short track speed skating and almost all of the snowboarding events where Americans seem to dominate. If only Vancouver had more snow and NBC showed less commercials and background stories, it might just be the greatest Winter Olympics ever for Team USA. What do you think?
