America's Surprise Olympic Romp

[poiuytrewq0987]

America is delivering an Olympics beating that nobody saw coming.
The U.S. won as many medals on Wednesday—six—as it won during the entirety of the 1988 Games in Calgary, Alberta.

The 20 medals that America had won through Friday afternoon at the Vancouver Games represent far more than half of its greatest Winter Olympics haul ever—the 34 that it garnered during the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.

Once the poor sisters of the Winter Games, once pressed to explain why a country with so much money and the greatest snow on earth couldn't dominate the slipping-and-sliding sports, America is on the verge of turning Vancouver into a romp.

I know it--we're kickin' some serious ass. I don't normally 'root' specifically for the US in the Olympics but I am glad to see our Alpine team doing so well. I grew up ski racing so the Alpine events have a special place in my heart.

I'm not too surprised with the USA kicking some serious butt. The country has a lot of talent all it needed to do was stop being lazy and they did this year.
