YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The United States just got its first Gold Medal for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City!!! YAY!!! It was won by Kelly Clark for the Women's Halfpipe in snowboarding! BRAVO KELLY!!! :dance: :guitar: patriot: :clap: :cheers:

YaY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap: :clap:

I just watched the replay of it at 1 AM. I suppose it was a little anti-climatic since I already knew who won, but that's pretty cool, especially since she's so young. Now there's an athlete who is doing it for the love of it. That French girl was dang good too, if she hadn't fallen there at the end, she may have won the gold.

I'm so happy!! Kelly Clark is my second favorite. Of course Picabo Street is my first favorite, but... I'm so happy for Kelly!! And yea, that French girl could have won.....

yay!! now I'm even more excited! US got 1st 2nd and 3rd in men's halfpipe snowboarding!! first time US has swept in the winter olympics since 1956 I think it was. That is soooooooo cool!!! I just watched the medal ceremony, it was awesome to see them raise 3 American flags and to hear the national anthem!!!
