! I'm loving the diversity of their medal winners too - not just one or two superstars, but a whole team of talented athletes rocking those podiums. Breezy Johnson's gold in downhill skiing was SO satisfying to watch 
, and Ilia Malinin's figure skating skills are straight fire 
. The US is proving they're more than just a one-hit wonder this time around 
. Can't wait to see how the rest of the Games play out! 
. I mean, I'm not even a huge coffee fan, but that flavor is TO DIE FOR! Anyway, back to the Olympics... yeah, Team USA is on fire this year! 9 gold medals already? That's insane 
. And Breezy Johnson's win was so epic! I love her name by the way, it's like, totally unique 
. Can't wait to see what happens next in these Games 
.
!!! I'm beyond proud of Breezy Johnson for that historic downhill win! 
and OMG Ilia Malinin is a genius 
his quad jumps are insane!!! And can't forget about Ben Ogden's silver in cross-country skiing - US skiing squad is bringing the heat 
232 athletes? That's dedication on steroids 
. Can't wait to see what else they've got up their sleeves 
️
It's like he's defying gravity out there. And Breezy Johnson's gold medal win in downhill skiing is giving me LIFE! 
What do you guys think? Should we be rooting for Team USA all the way? 
can't wait to see what else they bring home!
. That's where true greatness comes from, not just winning medals, but growing as athletes & people 
.
! I love how Ilia Malinin is getting so much attention for his "Quad God" skills - he's literally a legend on ice 
. With athletes like Breezy Johnson and Ilia Malinin dominating their respective disciplines, it's clear that Team USA is reaping the rewards of a well-structured national program 
. Meanwhile, Norway's consistent medal count is a reminder of their experience and depth in winter sports – but I'd say the US has taken a significant step forward this year 
. Overall, it'll be fascinating to see how Team USA continues to build on their momentum over the next few days 
. I mean, it's the US team sweeping up all these medals and we're still stuck with this clunky interface. Can't they at least give us some sort of medal tracker or something? It's like they just want us to look at pretty pictures of athletes winning awards... 
. I'm trying to find info on Breezy Johnson, but it's like she's invisible or something 
.
.
I've been following his progress and he's literally a master of the ice 
. Norway might still be in the lead, but Team USA is giving it their all 
. I love how Team USA is breaking records and making history. And let's be real, who needs to catch up with Norway when you're already winning more golds than them? 
They're like a well-oiled machine, always on top of their game. Norway's been consistent for years now, it's not surprising they're leading in the medal count.
That girl's got skills, and her victory is sending major waves through the US skiing community. And those American figure skaters? They're on fire! Ilia Malinin is indeed a genius with that quad jump
