Olympic Games 2010 Medals

Posted

Tagged in: olympic games , medals , gold medals

The medals won at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic this year have rolled in and, as expected, have created quite some excitement. For the U.S., Olympic medal making news this year highlights winners such as Evan Lysacek, winning the Gold medal in men’s figure skating. This is a big achievement for the U.S. as the former and quite intimidating Russian gold medalist, Evgeni Plushenko, has seemed to eye and own the Gold medal hands down. After all, he won the Gold medal at the 2006 Games and the Silver medal at the former 2002 Games. In addition to that, he is a three time World Champion, a six time European Champion, a four time Grand Prix Final Champion and eight- time Russian National Champion! The news is that Russia is ‘outraged’ over his loss, believing that Lysacek stole the Gold from Plushenko as a result of poor judging.


For the first time since 1960 Olympic gold pairs figure skating medals did not go to Russians. The first place at the Olympics in Vancouver took the couple from China - Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo. They scored 216.57 points. In second place another Chinese couple - Pang Qing and TONG Jian with a result of 213.31 points. Bronze with representatives of Germany - Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy (210.60).


Lionel Messi and Barcelona were the definite winners of World Soccer's 2009 Awards, triumphing in three out of four categories: World Player, Team and Manager of the Year awards. Messi is the first Argentinian to win World Soccer's World Player award since Diego Maradona in 1986. And Barcelona dominated this year's soccer awards -- he Spanish team not only played winning soccer they also played one of the most entertaining brands ever seen. The fast paced game was played  by some of the best players in the modern day game as Barcelona returned to the side of glory after many years of failure in both Spain and Europe.


In the world of sports the big questions are surprisingly immediate and simple. What team? What player? Which coach? Basically, who will win and who will lose? Who will upstage a champion and who will become the next legacy? Who will walk away with the most prestigious award or trophy? Perhaps one of the biggest arenas for such questions to circulate is that of basketball. Once again, basketball fans of all ages nationwide are anticipating the heat of the basketball season on the high school, college and professional levels. Key upcoming tournaments and events such as the annual March Madness season and the Naismith Trophy presentations for college and high school basketball are examples of occasions that will yield numerous answers to these much anticipated questions. The answers will be numerous because in today’s basketball scene, many wins will happen, yet few legacies will be made.
