Shaun White Wins Gold

It seems only fitting that someone like Shaun White should be the first person to be posted about on this blog. After all, he makes the impossible nothing more than an improbability, every day. Never before has any athlete sparked such a flame of passion for sport and patriotic excitement in me. The world has watched as he went from the aspiring rookie four years ago to a veteran legend. His amazing tricks make even the most quiet and laid back raise their fists in the air and cheer. His skills and dare take him to a level far above anything anyone can yet reach, and still, he climbs ever higher. He is a symbol of everything that a person aspires to be, while still retaining humanity. Congratulations on yet another Gold Metal! Your fans... all several hundred thousand plus of us, are behind you all the way.
