Hmm...she says Meno and Sand won a silver medal in 1998 (not at the Olympics, they didn't!). The U.S. only won two Olympic medals in 2006, three in 2002, two in 1998, and one in 1994...so I guess we're on track to do just about as well as a team as we have historically. The real story is that the medals are likely coming from men and ice dance rather than ladies.
