Women's downhill Vonntastic!

The women's downhill at Whistler was worth the wait.

The men's downhill is still my favorite event at the Winter Olympics, but the women's downhill runs a close second with me -- and the fact the competitors are just as graceful and a lot prettier is a plus.

American Lindsey Vonn got her gold medal yesterday as she weaved and slid her way down the course in a winning time of 1 minute and 44.19 seconds. And for a little icing on the cake Vonn's teammate and rival Julia Mancuso breezed to a silver medal with a time of 1:44:75. Wednesday was a great day for the USA Olympians as they jumped over Germany in the medal count and now have 14 medals -- four medals ahead of the Germans. Shuan White took the gold yesterday in the men's snowbording halfpipe event, while Scott Lugo won the silver. Shani Davis won the gold medal in the Men's 1000 speed skating event, while Chad Hedrick picked up the silver.

Six more medals for USA.

You gotta love it!
