Lindsey Vonn's Gold. For me, hands down, probably the most triumphant moment of the games, just barely ahead of Evan Lysacek's Gold. The gracious way he handled the ridicule from silver medalist Plushenko made it even better.
Kelly Clark singing to her iPod before dropping in to the half-pipe. She's totally tone deaf and doesn't care. I love it.
Adding to what Tess and I have termed our "Olympic Dance Montage"--seeing athletes do funny things as they warm up or celebrate. Among them: Lindsey Vonn's "visualization" of the course, that one freestyle skier that we dubbed "The Pointer", and pumped up dances by Louie Vito, Julia Mancuso, and others
The American snowboard team, men and women: they are so laid-back and goofy--"It was the savvy and saucy thing to do"--and are probably having the most fun of anybody
The triple chocolate bundt cake that came over for the opening ceremonies and stayed until Fat Tuesday. Nothing like diabetes to go with those Olympics.
Mary Carillo's day as a Canadian Mountie. If you can find a clip of this, watch it! It's hilarious.
Commenting on all the cool uniforms. I pretty much want one of everything. Besides the men's figure skating costumes. You can only take so many feathers.
Morgan Freeman's Go World Visa commercials. I'm not kidding, I get choked up talking about them. Ask Mary. They're great.
Amman's interview after his first gold. He was so ecstatic, he would say half a sentence and then go, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!" The poor interviewer couldn't even get a full sentence out of him. It was fun to see that much joy.
And finally...
The fact that we're only halfway done! Keep watching kids!
