Who doesn't love the Olympics and the Olympic fans?  In case you couldn't make it out to Vancouver for the 2010 festivities, here's a photo recap:

First off, Canada takes the Men's Hockey gold in an epic ice battle against the USA team:

Flip out about the Men's Freestyle Aerial Finals:

See China's Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo make a comeback with a Figure Skating Pairs gold medal performance:

Another beautiful performance by the first black pair, Vanessa James and Yannick Bonheur of France:

Here's American Short Track Speed Skater Apolo Ohno looking extremely excited to hold the most individual medals in history (who wouldn't be!?):

Go the Bobsleigh way with the Women's Finals:

Take a moment and enjoy the Norway Curling team with their argyle pants taking center stage:

If you can't get one of the medals, bask in the glow of the Olympic Rings:

Enjoy Ilanaaq, the inukshuk:

And remember to give the Vancouver Olympic Mascots a hug:

Way cute, eh? Meomi is the talented creator of those adorable mascots.  She also designed the iGoogle theme, Tea House.

The 2010 Olympic show is now over but we hope you're inspired to acheive your personal bests this month and next with Skimble!
