The Game started today and a few medals were awarded. The first gold medal was won by Switzerland's Simon Ammann in the Normal Hill, Individual Ski Jump. Silver and Bronze winners were Adam Malysz of Poland and Gregor Schlierenzauer from Austria.
The First gold for the USA was won today with Hannah Kearney for Freestyle Skiing in Ladies Moguls. She would beat out Canada's Jennifer Heil who was hoping to win Canada's first gold medal ever on home turf. She would settle for silver. Bronze was taken by another American named Shannon Bahrke.
The Speed Skater Apolo Anton Ohno made his Vancouver debut today as he was in the Men's Short Track 1500 M. He would get in the finals and thanks to a blunder by a couple of the Koreans ahead of him, he and JR Celski (American) would take Silver and Bronze in that order. Jung-Su Lee (Korean) would take gold in this event. With this medal, Apolo ties for the most Winter medals ever won with 6.
Despite what happened yesterday, the Luge events would continue as the Men's Singles started their competition today. The crew did put in a higher wall were Nodar died and start places were changed to slow down the speeds. The men would start at the ladies original place and the ladies will go to the junior start place later on.
There is no country so far with more than one Gold medal after day one. The USA leads the Medal Count, however, with 4.
