The 2010 Winter Olympics began yesterday in Vancouver. The USA team had a good start with four medals, including the first which went to Hannah Kearny in the Women’s Moguls. See her impressive run in this video provided by NBC. The men’s team got bronze in the same event. The gold went to Canadian Alexandre Bilodeau, giving Canada it’s first gold medal at home.
Other notable events from this weekend’s Olympic action include the surprise wipeout by the Korean team members during the short track race, giving Apollo Ohno a chance for the silver medal in the event. And in women’s hockey the women’s team annihilated China today with a final score of 12-1. The USA currently has 6 medals total, putting them in first place with many more chances ahead in the next two weeks to increase that lead.
