credit Dallas Morning NewsThe US Mens Olympic Snowboard team brings home Gold and Bronze Medals in Vancouver. Shaun White walks away with his second gold and Scotty Lago takes home the bronze.
Shaun White laid down his first run of a 46.8, which was enough to bring home gold alone but went out and put together a run of 48.4 on his second. His second run is the highest for the Olympic Snowboard competition in history. In his "victory" run Shaun displayed his amazing ability by throwing down an insane Double McTwist 1260. Shaun's two runs were the two highest in the competition.
Scotty Lago came out with a 42.8 which just bumped him into medal position knocking out Switzerland's Iouri Podladtchikov who had a 42.4 into 4th place. Rounding out the top 5 was the US Team member Louie Vito, also know as Tiny Dancer from his Dancing With the Stars days.
Yesterday was a good day for Team USA at the Olympics taking home a total of 6 medals in one day!! Never before has the US done that in the Winter Olympics and no other country has ever won more than 6 in a day. So Thanks to Shaun, Scotty, and the rest of Team USA for putting us in the history books yesterday.
