I guess you missed the start of the Daytona 500 then Richard.
Two Olympic medalist snowboarders, Hannah(she's from Vermont!) and Gretchen waved the green flag to start the race.
Jay Leno was there too to drive the pace car!
I'm sure that the medal winners will be back in Italy for the closing ceremonies.
