Vonn! White! Davis! Kearney! Wescott! USA Quintuple Gold!

Congratulations to all the USA medal winners, thus far, at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver! I believe my fondest winter olympic memories are from Lake Placid in 1980 - Speedskater Eric Heiden's (WI native) five gold medals and the Olympic Hockey team's magical gold medal run. Ahhh, youth! Take a look at 5 gold moments:

Lindsey Vonn - Alpine Skiing/Ladies' Downhill

Shani Davis - Men’s 1000m Speedskating (trained at the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee)

Shaun White - Men’s Halfpipe (snowboarding)

Hannah Kearney - Freestyle Skiing/Ladies' Moguls

Seth Wescott - Men's Snowboard Cross

I added one more USA medal winner - even though it was the silver. Click on READ MORE! to find out who.

Julia Mancuso - Silver medal/Alpine Skiing - Ladies' Downhill. Julia "in" Olympic garb...

...and sans duds. SKOL FAVRE! SKOL VIKINGS!
