Ice dancing silver for US

Today, the U.S. won its first ice dancing medal since 1976, the year the event was introduced to the Olympics. Americans Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto won the silver medal, while Russians Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov took the gold. This is the third figure skating event this Olympics in which Russia has won the gold medal. I hope the American girls stop Russia's winning streak in ladies' figure skating tomorrow.

Also, congratulations to the U.S. women's ice hockey team, who won the bronze medal today.

On the other hand, Bode Miller again failed to win a medal, finishing 6th in the giant slalom. He has competed in four events so far, leaving the regular slalom as his only chance to win a medal.
