5. Alexandre Bilodeau. Wins the first home gold medal for Canada in the moguls competition. Dedicates the win to his brother who has cerebral palsy.
4. Joannie Rochette. Her mom dies less than 2 days before the biggest day of her life. And SHE SKATES!! Not only that, but she WINS A BRONZE!! Who does that? I can't imagine what she has gone through this week. I can't imagine what she's gone through to get to the Olympics. It's hard to say what I would do, but it was impressive to see her rise to the occasion.
3. Bill Demong. Not only did he win silver with his teammates in the Nordic Combined, but he erased a 46 second deficit to win the gold in the individual Nordic Combined event. I don't know much about this sport, but it doesn't take an expert to recognize what a tremendous feat that is.
2. Team USA hockey. Beat down the tourney favorites, squeak by the Swiss, and throttle the Fins. Next stop: hockey immortality. -well, maybe not.
1. USA bobsledding. Steve Holcomb leads his team to the first 4-man bobsled gold medal in 62 years!
