Yet another solid Olymic day for the USA!!!


Headlined by our top 2 male speed skaters, Apolo Ohno and Shani Davis, who added to their already impressive career medal count.  Ohno grabbed his 7th total medal in the men's 1,000 meters by earning the bronze which makes him the most successful American Winter Olympian of all-time.  It didn't come easy for Apolo due to a slip with 2 laps left that dropped him back to 5th place.  However he was able to recover and bully his way back onto the podium in 3rd.  Shani Davis ended up with a silver in his strongest event, the 1500 meters.  This is his 4th medal all-time and doesn't seem to be finished racking up Olympic medals!   Lindsay Vonn added a bronze medal to go with her gold she won earlier in these games.  Much more excitement to come tomorrow with all eyes on the USA vs Canada match-up in Ice Hockey.  Go USA!!!
