Vancouver--Gold!!!!

Much better day (well, technically yesterday) for US Speedskating. And for me. I didn't wander aimlessly once today. Stephen Colbert stopped by the oval to do some filming with our athletes. He's an amazingly funny guy.

He spent some time counseling our Olympic athletes and even signed Tucker's chest. (Beat THAT Katherine Reutter.) I like the nipple smiley face.


During the filming I brought Eric Heiden up to meet Colbert. Heiden is one of Colbert's idols and they had a good chat. This is a nice picture of Heiden's back talking to Colbert's front. Thank heavens our assistant sports psychologist was around to keep us all mentally stable.


But at the end of the day, it was all about the medals. This is Chad Hedrick and me after his press conference celebrating his Olympic bronze medal in the 1000m. We both look a little tired. Shani Davis (not pictured with me) won the gold!!
