Hello, my name is Stephen K. The country I am choosing is the United States of America. media type="custom" key="5606515" My country participates in bobsled, luge, skeleton, ice hockey, figure (ice dancing), speed skating and short track speed skating, curling, alpine skiing, free style skiing (aerials, moguls, and ski cross), snowboarding (halfpipe, snowboard cross, and parallel giant slalom), ski jumping, cross-country skiing, biathalon (cross-country skiing and target shooting), and nordic combined (ski jumping and cross-country skiing).

The sports my country do well in are alpine skiing (men's super combined), alpine skiing (women's downhill), bobsled (four- man), freestyle skiing (women's moguls), figure skating (men's), nordic combined (individual large hill), snowboarding (men's halfpipe), snowboarding (men's snowboard cross), and speed skating (men's 1000m).

My country's best year is the winter olympics of 2010.

My countries most sucssesful athletes would be Bode Miller in Alpine skiing, Lindsey Vonn in Alpine skiing, Steve Holcomb in Bobsled, Steve Mesler in Bobsled, Curt Tomasevicz in Bobsled, Justin Olsen in Bobsled, Hannah Kearney in freestyle skiing, Evan Lysacek in figure skating, Bill Demong in the nordic combined, Shaun White in snowboarding, Seth Wescott in snowboarding, and Shani Davis in speed skating.

One of the previous high points of past olympics for my country would be the "miricale on ice". In the 1980 winter olympics the United States won the stunning ice hockey gold medal game over the Russian ice hockey team 4-3.



Questions from the New York Times:

Seth Wescott is an American snowboarder and a two-time olympic champion in snowboard cross. On the final jump of their race Seth Wescott defeated Mike Roberston to defend and take the gold medal. In the 2006 winter olympics Wescott took gold in his first year of the olympics. This event was held in Torino, Italy. He previously won a gold in 2006 in Torino, Italy. Wescott had a fierce competetor. Mike Roberston was thought to take the gold medal this year, but Seth took the gols once again. Seth Wescott trained hard and obviously wanted it more than the rest.
