This is Red Gerard’s 9-year-old sister, Asher, the youngest of the seven Gerard siblings. I asked what she was going to tell her brother when she saw him. “I love you,” she said. pic.twitter.com/QSzhT40nNg

Bradie Tennell Steals America's Heart
In her Olympic debut, Bradie Tennell scored a 68.94 in the women's event to help Team USA move into third place. Not only did Tennell steal the show in the ice, but she was trending on Twitter after her performance.
Bradie was the queen we don't deserve and was so solid for @TeamUSA today in the short! Technically perfect.

Chris Mazdzer will be second going into Heat 4.
Adam Heidt (2002) and Tony Benshoof (2006) were both fourth, the previous one-run-to-go bests by a USA Luge male.
Even @mazdzer Dog is up and supporting @TeamUSA - Lots of tail wagging for a NEW TRACK RECORD and the fastest heat of the 3 run! #LugeLove #GOteamUSA #emotionalSupportpeacock pic.twitter.com/gHIdF5myZd

Matt Hamilton's Lookalikes
In the early days of the Games, Matt Hamilton has become one of the more popular figures, probably because of that fabulous 'stache. He's accumulated quite the stable of lookalikes...
