2010 Vancouver Winter Olymics

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver was a good Olympics this year. They won 37 medals they beat German medal record by 1 medal. In the Olympics this year was shocking. American won their first bobsled medal in 62 years. Shaun White retained his title for half pipe in this year Olympics. All though Apollo Anton Onho didn’t get a gold medal this time but he got his 8th career medal in Vancouver. Lindsey Vonn got her first ever in alpine skiing. She beat another American by a half of a second. But my favorite race was the short track speed skating. It was where Ohno was at the back of the pack and he change in to 2nd and won silver. IN the 500 Ohno should have got gold but they disqualified when the Canada guy in front of him should have because he pretty much pushed a Korean guy down and he did not get Disqualified. But Shaun white deafened his gold medal and at the half pipe and at the end of his final round of the finals he already won so he did a Double McTwist 1260. This Winter Olympics in Vancouver was historical for the American it was one of the best Olympics for the Americans this year.

Apollo Anton Ohno

Apollo Anton Ohno has 8 career medals. This year in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver he won silver, and 2 bronze. He has in career so far is 4 bronze medals 2 sliver and 2 gold.He first came into the sport in 1994. He was at the age 12 first interested in speed skating. In the 2002 winter Olympics he was one of the favored that would win the Winter Olympics. So in 2006 Winter Olympics he won gold in Torino. He should have won one more medal because it was when the Canadians guy slipped and Canada guy should have got disqualified because he pushed the Korean guy and he didn’t get disqualified. Ohno said he didn’t win silver or gold is because he it was on Canada soil and it was their home country. Every year since 2002 at Salt Lake he won gold and after the Korean in front of him was disqualified for a legal block. Then Ohno received gold and many Korean sent him Death notes so he was pulled of the world champion. So April 26, 2007, he was inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame, an award which honors achievements of Asian Americans. He is one of the most successful USA individual he beat Bonnie Blair she had 6 medals and Ohno beat her by 2 medals he could win more medals at the 2014 Olympics in Russia I hope they are going to be more fair than Canada. He did not argue though he said it was a cushion and he did not push the Canadian at all but it was final. It was horrible every American was mad but Ohno was probably mad but he held it in and did not say anything bad so he congratulated he competition. It would have been cool if he had won his nine career medal but he has a nother chance to win gold in 2014 in Russia.

Shaun White

Shaun White is one the best snowboarder in my option. He has resent won gold on the half pipe at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver at the age of 23 years old He won gold in the Torino on the 2006 Winter Olympics and he was 19 years old.Early 2010 he debuted the Double McTwist 1260. He is the only person today that can do that trick it is intoning. The trick is 2flips and 3 and half spins. Shaun knew he could do the Double McTwist 1260 But he was waiting for the perfect time to the trick. He did it on a good on the end of his of his last heat in the finals. With that trick he beat his first heat in the finals and he did the trick and got a 48.4 he beat his first run by 1.6 points. He is known as the best snow boarder in the world so far. He won at Torino and now at Vancouver He has defended his gold medal in the men’s half pipe. But his fellow teammates fell short but Scott Lago got the bronze in the men’s half pipe. But Pettu Piiroinen fell short he was so close at the end of his ride he got a 45.00 That meant Lago had to try and beat Whites score. But he didn’t since he was he 2nd to last rider so it was Whites turn and he got a 48.4 that put him in first and Pettu Piiroinen was 2nd and that meant one thing that Lago was 3rd they all did great but Shaun White it was his day on the half pipe.
