 We'll stay with the Olympics for two more Hero(s) of the week. Steven Holcomb lead the US Bobsled team to their first Gold Medal in SIXTY years! And him and his team were on the Letterman show last night, they even did the Top 10 list! He's the 'Co-Hero' with Canadian Figure-Skater Joannie Rochette, who captivated most of the Viewing audience with her amazing Silver-Medal performance---just after her Mom had passed away. Two MALE sportscasters said on TV they were teary watching her. It seems like in every Olympics there is some kind of wild story in Olympic Figure Skating--especially with the Women's Competition. This year there was a positive story!
