The United States leads the world in Medal Count in the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. We have to brag about the number of Medal winning Olympians from New England. First to the podium was Hannah Kearny of Norwich Vermont, trains with Waterville Valley BBTS, got to the podium first in the Moguls on Saturday February 13. Also a Waterville Alum, Scotty Lago (Leggo), of Seabrook NH wins Bronze in snowboarding.
Bode Miller of Franconia New Hampshire won a Bronze in the Downhill Monday. He is still up for three more races, Super-G, Slalom, and Super Combined. How many medals will Bode win?

We are already psyched to race Bode when he comes home to Cannon, for the second annual Bodefest April 3, 2010.
Also on Monday February 15th, Seth Wescott came from behind to win Gold in Snowboardcross. Have you ever seen so many wipe outs in Boardercross?

Usulaly wipeouts in Boardercross happen when riders fight for position, this time riders were just wiping out without hitting each other! The snow appeared chunky monkey as the sun was setting and slush turned into ice cookies. So what does Seth do? he hangs back and lets the leaders wipe out, then he passes the last competitor as they raced to the finish, Outstanding! The party is on at Seth’s Home Town Pub, The Rack at Maine.
