Olympic recap

So far, today hasn't been a very good day for the U.S. Olympic team. As most of you know, Michelle Kwan withdrew from the games after injuring herself during a warn-up yesterday. Even worse, American speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno stumbled during a qualifying heat for the 1500 m and is now out of the running in that event. Prior to the mishap, Ohno was a favorite to win the gold. One inspiring story from today is that of Frode Estil, a Norwegian skier who won the silver medal in the men's pursuit after falling in the first seconds of the race and beginning the race dead last. Congratulations to all the winners from today and yesterday, including American snowboarder Shaun White (the Flying Red Tomato), American speed skater Chad Hedrick, and Canadian skier Jennifer Heil. Also, it was amazing to watch Rena Inoue and John Baldwin land the first throw triple Axel ever in international competition. It's too bad they're only in sixth place. That's all for now; I will try to post as soon as I hear any notable new developments.
