Shaun White is snowboarder who recently had a nasty fall during the Winter X games.  You can read more about this by clicking here.  White is a favorite, and is expected to win big at this year’s Olympics.

One former Winter Olympian that should be in all of our thoughts this year is Nancy Kerrigan.  Kerrigan won the silver medal at the Lillehamer Olympics, after being attacked by a man hired by rival skater Tonya Harding.  Recently, Kerrigan’s father died. You can read about the tragedy here.

For many, the winter games are favored over the summer games.  There are many great sports and many great events to choose from.  Be sure to keep an eye on the schedule listed on the Olympic’s Official Web site to ensure that you don’t miss something you really want to see.
