Shaun White McTwists Into Gold

While almost everybody expected Shaun White to win gold again, I don't know if anyone expected how awesome he'd be to watch. Describing his performance that night, Twitter and Facebook were awash with the descriptors: OMG, holy sh*t, and unbelievable.
Before he even hit the pipe for his second run Shaun had secured the gold medal. Still, that didn't stop him from pulling out his super-sized Double McTwist 1260 — two board-over-head flips inside of 3.5 turns. To date, Shaun is the only person in the world who can perform this.

Great picks! I'm excited to see how the second half of the games shapes up. I'm particularly excited for men's hockey after the U.S.'s unexpected win last night!
