I’m loving everything about these Olympics, Dear Roxy. What’s not to like? Men in tights (well, not so much), men flying high in the air, women racing down a snowy hill… it’s all very exciting.

Congratulations to Apolo Anton Ohno for becoming the U.S. man with the most medals in the Olympic Winter Games. He is now tied for first with Bonnie Blair for the most decorated U.S. athlete in these Winter Games, although I must admit I had to google her name. He has a chance to surpass her over the weekend!

But yesterday was epic for the Americans! Lindsay Vonn finally got what she wanted and deserved – a gold medal in alpine skiing! I can’t imagine doing that – with a bruised shin.

And Shani Davis became the first speedskater to win the men's 1,000 meters twice! How great is that? I was so nervous watching him last night, even toward the end when he was “behind.” Awesome comeback, Shani!

But my favorite one by far has to be Shaun White as he successfully defended his halfpipe gold title! This kid is unbelievable. What he did last night was out of this world! If only I could stay on my feet while snowboarding will be epic for me! Congratulations, Shaun! You are a snowboard genius!

But let’s not forget about Julia Mancuso for winning silver in the downhill and Chad Hedrick and Scott Lago for winning the bronze in the 1,000 meter and halfpipe. Great day for the Americans; woo-hoo!

Americans Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir compete for a medal in figure skating tonight! Good luck, boys!

What did I miss?

Apolo winning silver and JR Celski winning the bronze in short track speed skating; Hanna Kearney winning gold and Shannon Bahrke winning the bronze in women's moguls; Seth Wescott winning gold in men's snowboard cross; Bode Miller redeaming himself and winning bronze in the men's downhill; Bryon Wilson for his bronze in men's moguls; and Johnny Spillane for his silver medal in individual normal hill/1o k cc.
