Apolo wins his 8th medal!

The women's curling gold medal game was really close. Sweden tied it up with Canada in the 10th (last) end (round), so they had to do an 11th. It came down to the last shot. Sweden's Anette Norberg made it a tough one for Canada's Cheryl Bernard, and she didn't quite get it. So Sweden won the gold. The crowd was loving it through the whole thing--they cheered, whistled, even did the wave. I was rooting for Canada, but at least they got silver!

In the 500m short track final, Apolo Ohno started out in 4th, but on the last lap, the Canadian in 3rd fell, and then the Korean in 2nd fell, so he passed them to get 2nd place. But Apolo had his hand on the Canadian's back as he fell, so he was disqualified. The thing is, though, skaters touch each other slightly like that all the time to prevent run-ins, and I really don't think Apolo caused the Canadian to fall. So that really sucks. Canada ended up 1st and 3rd, South Korea 2nd.

Katherine Reutter won silver in the 1000m, and Wang Meng of China won gold, which means China won gold in all the women's events this year. That's pretty amazing.

The US got bronze in the 5000m relay. It was a really close race. We were in 4th most of the time, but Apolo finished up and passed China at the end to win bronze. Now Apolo has 8 medals overall, the most of any short track skater and any US Winter Olympian.

Lindsey Vonn missed a gate in the women's slalom, so no more medals for her, but she got what she came to get--gold in downhill. And her bronze in super G was a plus. I'm happy for her. Her really good German friend Maria Reisch won gold, though. So cool!
