Olympics 2010!

I LOVE the Olympics! They are so fun to watch. This year I am extremely impressed with Shaun White. First off, he has TOF, a congenital heart disease and had 2 open heart surgeries before turning 1. Wow, that is amazing to me since one of the things i remember when we first found out about Libbi was the doctors saying ..exact words.."well, she will never be an olympic athlete, but she will be able to play recreational sports" WRONG! She can do whatever she wants, if he can do it so can she! He won the gold medal in the mens halfpipe, it was so impressive! His first run was scored at 46.3 and had won the gold before he even did his 2nd run. He did it anyway, just for fun mainly, he pulled out his mctwist super awesome new trick and scored 48.4!!! Out of 50!! That is just insane! Anyway, he is my hero for the time being. He proves that anything can be done, if you just set your mind to it! Go team USA! I will continue to watch in awe!
