2010 Kuiperactive Olympic Gold Medal Awards, Day Three
Gold Medal for Best Use of Technology:
Projection during the Opening Ceremonies (anyone who endured the first half of the Opening Ceremonies was rewarded with a projection show beyond description)
Gold Medal for Making the Most of Your 15 Minutes:
Bill Schuffenhauer (From the being a homeless child of a drug-addict to a bob sledder for the US at the Olympics.)
Gold Medal for Most Overrated Performer:
Apolo Anton Ohno (Eight medals is amazing, but Bonnie Blair had FIVE golds to your TWO. Sorry, she’s still the queen.)
Gold Medal for Best Merchandise of Hate:
Apolo Ohno toilet paper sold in Korea (yeah, they hate him that much!)
Gold Medal for Best Merchandise Push:
US skier Hannah Kearney’s bid for a personal flavor of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream (coffee ice cream with Oreos – Ben & Jerry’s, please DO IT!!!)
Gold Medal for Best Return to the Olympics:
The Zamboni! (After foolishly choosing an electric Olympic ice resurfacer over the bullet-proof Zamboni, the Vancouver Committee paid for their decision when the Olympics broke down and caused a 70-minute delay. The next day, the Zamboni made its triumphant return to the games and has not missed a spot. Long live the Zamboni!)
Gold Medal for Biggest Surprise:
Steve Mesler and his Four-Man Bobsled Team (For breaking a 62-years drought by winning the Gold Medal, beating the highly favored Germans)
Silver Medal for Biggest Surprise:
Russia & Sweden Men’s Hockey Teams (For being easily ousted by Canada and Slovakia)
Bronze Medal for Biggest Surprise:
‘USA2′ Women’s Bobsled Team (For winning the bronze medal in 2-man bobsled)
If you have any Olympic Gold Medals to my platform, PLEASE let me know! I would love to hear them!
