The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver ended with the end of February. The closing ceremony was beautiful and it even featured William Shatner, Catherine O’Hara and Michael J. Fox following Rogge who had some humorous monologuesBecause they are over, we now have the final medal count for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Team USA led in overall medals. However, hosts Canada had the most gold medals with 14.
Team USA’s final medal count was 37. The Team USA total includes 9 gold medals, 15 silver medals and 13 bronze. Team USA’s 37 medals was 7 more than the second place medal leader, Germany. Germany left the 2010 Winter Olympics with 30 Olympic medals. Hosts Canada were the third overall medal count with 26 medals, but they did win the most gold medals.
Overall the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics were exciting. The only major gripe I have is that the time went too quickly. It’s hard to believe we have to wait another 4 years. Of course, it will be nice to get back to some regular programming.
