Shaun White - USA

Since I am a snowboarder myself, I would love to be Shaun White. He is an amazing athlete and now a two-time gold medalist! After his Double McTwist 1260, or Whitesnake as he calls it, on Wednesday (a 3 1/2 turn and 2 flip move) he changed history! He goes out every time and gives it his all. He received a 48.4/50 on his "victory lap." How amazing is that?!?!

  1. I don't really follow snowboarding, but you're right -- you have to admire the fact that some folks give maximum effort at all times. That's an admirable quality in any person!

  2. Wasn't it amazing how high White got above the half-pipe? White seems to have the ability to take his skills to another level when he needs to most. It will be interesting to see if he gets as many advertisements as Mike Phelps.

  3. I didn't get the chance to se Shaun White, but did you get to see Lindsay Vonn?! She was amazing! I like to see people win that honestly have worked hard for it, over injuries and getting so close last year...man, I was so happy for her!

  4. Yes Lindsay Vonn is amazing. She is so inspiring. I feel the same as you that I really do admire people that keep trying and put some much effort into a goal! I bet she doesn't feel any pain in her shin after winning the gold!

  5. I'm currently watching the skiing tricks and hope Emily Cook makes it to the finals! I keep getting really nervous for the skiers when they land. The snow doesn't look like snow and they keep wiping out! Go USA!

  7. Yes I also like the pairs skating, but did get to see it. I'll have to watch some of the videos from it. I do enjoy a lot of the skating events. Evan Lysacek was great to watch with his gold medal performance!

  9. I thought that White's performance was amazing. He made everything look so easy and no one is even close to the skill level that he has attained. I have also been really caught up with curling. It is like a train wreck, I just can't seem to pull myself away from this event despite the fact that is not that exciting.
