I want to send a big congratulations to Lindsey Vonn of the the US Olympic ski team for taking the gold medal in the women's downhill earlier today. She is one of the greatest skiers that the US has ever produced, and was able to win gold despite a painful shin injury that had kept her from practicing.

This just goes to show what the human body is capable of when facing adversity, and that truly anything is possible. Her dedication and passion - and that of every Olympic athlete the world over - should serve as inspiration to us all.

Well done.
