The flame has been extinguished. Bodog reviews the Winter Olympics.
After 17 days and one of the most exciting Olympics of all time, let's take a look back at the Top 10 moments from the Vancouver Olympics.
1. The United States leads the 2010 Winter Olympics with 37 medals. Despite some disappointments and a strong charge by host Canada, there were more than enough surprises and stunning moments for the USA to establish Olympic dominance.
2. Canadian Joannie Rochette takes the bronze medal four days after her mother died unexpectedly from a heart attack. Rochette's performance was both courageous and awe-inspiring.
3. Evan Lysacek upsets Russian Evgeni Plushenko in men's figure skating with a perfect skate.
4. Alex Bilodeau wins moguls gold on Day 2 of the Games – giving Canada its first ever gold medal on home soil and erasing the sting from disappointing showings in Calgary and Montreal.
5. After nearly breaking her ribs and suffering through brutal pain, Slovenian Petra Majdic guts her way through two more rounds of the women's 1.4-kilometer sprint to win bronze.
6. Hannah Kearney wins USA's first gold medal of the Olympics with a brilliant run in the moguls.
7. Shaun White delivers perhaps the greatest performance in Olympic snowboard history en route to gold in the halfpipe. Despite already clinching gold, White broke out the Double McTwist – a move only he can perform.
8. Lindsey Vonn skies through pain to earn a gold medal in the women's downhill. Vonn fought back tears at the end of her run.
9. Team USA nearly pulled off a comeback for the ages against the Canadian hockey team, scoring in the dying moments of regulation to force overtime. Sidney Crosby scored the golden goal and kicked off a celebration in Canada like no other.
10. Fired up to celebrate after winning gold in the skeleton, Canadian Jon Montgomery jogged through the streets of Whistler Village as hundreds of fans cheered him on – and chugged a pitcher of beer a fellow Canuck passed to him.

The USA came out on top of the medal standings in the 2010 Games, finishing with 37 total medals (nine gold, 15 silver, 13 bronze). Germany was next on the podium with 30 (10 gold, 13 silver, seven bronze). The host nation enjoyed a ton of success with 26 medals and a third-place finish (14 gold, seven silver, five bronze). Norway (nine gold, eight silver, six bronze) finished fourth, while Austria rounded out the top five (four gold, six silver, six bronze).
After actively campaigning to "own the podium" the Canadians came through with a record 14 gold medals. It's the most gold a country has ever captured at a Winter Olympics, surpassing Norway (2002) and the Soviet Union (1976). The gold rush was even more impressive considering Canada had never won an event on home soil in the two previous games it hosted in Calgary and Montreal.
