Olympic Update - Alpine Skiing + Ice Dancing

Tonight's Olympic action brought us the Men's Super G and the compulsory portion of ice dancing. In the Men's Super G, Team USA brought home two medals. Bode Miller won a silver medal and Andrew Weibrecht won the bronze. The gold went to Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway.

The top three at the end of the first part of ice dancing were Domnina and Shabalin of Russia, Virtue and Moir of Canada, and Davis and White of America. Another American pair, Belbin and Agosto, came close at fourth place. There is still the original dance and free skate to go before the medals are awarded.

The final medal count was as follows: 6 gold, 6 silver, and 8 bronze, for a total of 20 medals for Team USA. Great Britain got its first gold medal today for the women's skeleton competition. It is their only medal in these Olympics thus far.

More to come tomorrow.
