2010 Olympics: A Pictorial

Lil Sis asked for a 2010 Olympic recap (so far) a la Toi. So, here it is.
Warning: Image and GIF heavy.


Gold medal for Best Face while holding an Olympic torch: 












Gold medal for One of the Most Touching Moments Ever:
Bilodeau and Bro

Gold medal for Best Hairstyle while competing: 
 
Athlete whose hair I want (I REALLY WANT LONG HAIR AT THE MOMENT YOU GUYS):
 
















Gold medal for Best Bro-mance of the games:
Short Track Bromance

Gold medal for Crash that makes me wince:
Ouch

Gold medal for Best Fall in Pairs Skating:
Pair Male Fall

Gold medal for Perfection in Pairs Figure Skating:
Pairs Gold

Gold medal for Best Fall in Men's Super G:
Jaunty Fall

Gold medal for My Favorite Mens figure skater:





















Gold medal for the Most Fabulous performance:
Attitude

Gold medal for Best Halloween costume (Note: this did not occur at the Olympic games):













Gold medal for Best Bob Costas interview (You have to go over to the NBC Olympics website to see the full interview; they don't want to share with international viewers, so there's no embed option available):


Gold medal for Worst Wardrobe Malfunction during the Olympics:
 
















Gold medal for the Best Thing to happen to Men's Figure Skating in some time:
Plushy

Gold medal for Finally Coaching a Student to a Gold (Frank Carroll, Evan Lysacek's coach, has coached students for nearly four decades - including Michelle Kwan - but none of his students had ever won a gold medal):












Gold medal for THE HAT I WANT (It's sold out online, so if you happen to see one in stores, CALL ME ASAP):
 
















Gold medal for Most Interesting Sport (Yes, seriously. Once I figured out how curling is played, it's fascinating because there is so much strategy involved.):













Gold medal for the book I most want right now: Winter Olympics: An Insider's Guide to the Legends, Lore, and Events of the Games: Vancouver Edition

Gold medal for the article that best berates NBC for their crap-tastic coverage

Gold medal for article that kinda explains why NBC has such crap-tastic coverage, while also offering the solution to the problem - that ABC/ESPN get the rights to the 2014 Olympics and beyond

First website I check everyday: The latest Daily Briefing

Second website I check everyday: Vancouver 2010

Commercial that I have seen the most (which I both love - because now I really want to visit British Columbia - and hate - because the green screen in this is so distracting to me):

And even though there have been some mishaps (torch malfunction, ice problems, bad weather, etc.) I still love Canada:
Robin Sparkles - Canada

Thank you for reading!
Kisses

2 made a huge mistake.:

1) You must teach me how to do a cut on blogger.
2) You had to pick that picture to give Shaun a gold medal? He totes mcgoats should have won for the best hair category.
