JohnA: New Tiger Emerges On Stage

A new Tiger emerged today. No, I don't mean that one, even though it appears he'll finally come out of his seclusion this week to discuss his golf future. No, the new Tiger is Lindsey Vonn, competing basically on one leg, ala Tiger at last year's US Open, to win the gold medal in the downhill. For those of us who like to go really fast down a slick hill, it was amazing to see how she kept her weight off her sore right leg, which is really, really tough to do when you are turning left, but she made it happen and won the gold. Amazing stuff tonight.

Question: Which Winter Olympic performance to date has been your favorite?
