Congratulations to the USA four-man bobsled team for its gold medal run today at the Whistler Sliding Centre.

It's been 62 years since the United States has garnered a gold medal in bobsledding. The four men -- Steve Holcomb, Justin Olsen, Steve Mesler and Curt Tomasevicz -- climbed aboard their bobsled named Night Train at 3,044 feet above sea level and dropped 472 vertical feet, while reaching speeds up to 95 mph in less than a minute on one of the fastest, most demanding and treacherous tracks in the world.

Tomasevicz, who hails from Selby, Nebraska, is on my blogging list and you can check out his blog at: www.selbyne.blogspot.com or google Curt's Olympic Blog. He goes into great detail on his experiences at the Winter Games in Vancouver. The effort by the four gentlemen gave Team USA its ninth gold medal of the games and its 36th overall.
