Going for the Gold!

The Olympics came and past with many surprises, and Kazakhstan came in strong winning 1 medal which was bronze for Men's figure skating. Kazakhstan should be thanking Denis Ten for his outstanding performance figure skating to win his bronze medal, but enough jokes about poor little Kazakhstan. The U.S. came in second with the most medals with 28, but Russia beat the U.S. out by 5 medals with a total of 33 medals overall. The United States nabbed 9 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 12 bronze medals, and athletes such as Ted Ligety and David Wise won events like alpine skiing and men's half pipe. Shaun White was quite a shock in his performance in the Olympics placing fourth in the men's half pipe, and dropping out of the slope style because he thought that the event looked to dangerous for him. The United States also rocked the ice with Meryl Davis and Charlie White winning the gold in the figure skating event performing a mixed dance. They won this event by giving an outstanding performance, but I thought it was kind of weird. Bode Miller screwed up big time in the Alpine skiing event only winning a bronze medal and shocking all who were watching him.
