Hot or Not? 2010 Winter Olympics Edition

Okay folks, now the Olympics are over we (I) can finally get back to our normal lives. Although I am a little sad the Olympics are over, I really enjoy watching them, no matter what event (exceptions include Ice Dancing in the Winter Olympics and Synchronized Swimming in the Summer Olympics, those aren't sports). The next Olympics will be in 2012 in London, and I'm already looking forward to those. My mom had expressed some interest in trying to go, but we'll see what happens with that...
Anyhow, it's about damn time I got to a Hot or Not, my time has been preoccupied with the Olympics, work, and this Chess Club I'm (sort of) trying to get started at my mom's school (resume material, people!!!). This Hot or Not is a little different, and I thought I would honor the Olympics this time around. I am featuring three different women for this Hot or Not, and they are Lindsey Vonn, Julia Mancuso, and Nicole Joraanstad (Vonn and Mancuso on top, Joraanstad on the bottom row). If you didn't watch too much of the Olympics, Vonn and Mancuso participated in downhill skiing, and Joraanstad was part of the Curling team.
There was a lot of hype about Lindsey Vonn when the Olympics started, mostly because she jacked the fuck out of her shin before the games even began. Fortunately for her, heavy snow and fog delayed some of the skiing events and she was given almost another week to heal. She went on to win a gold and bronze during these games.
Mancuso received some hype as well, but not nearly as much as Vonn. Mancuso was the defending gold medalist in the Super G (I believe) from Torino. There was some controversy nearer the end of the games revolving around the idea there was some hate between Mancuso and Vonn, it was suggested that Vonn was trying to steal some of the thunder from Mancuso. This mostly came after Vonn crashed during one of the events (again) and Mancuso's run had to be stopped because Vonn was still on the course (Vonn was still on the course because officials had decided to shorten intervals between skiiers due to weather factors, apparently this is normal procedure. Vonn was way off to the side, but they had Mancuso stop because she might have crashed in the same area which would have sent her careening into Vonn. This was Vonn's second or third crash, Mancuso never crashed at all). Both women came on the air and denied all accusations, they are actually really good friends. Mancuso left Vancouver with two silver medals.
Joraanstad is one of the members of the 2010 Women's Olympic Curling team. I'm not sure what position she holds, she may be Vice-Skip, or possibly First. Anyhow, she is one of the more attractive members of the team (in my opinion, aside from Pottinger), and the only reason I found her was because of my desire to finally find out how Curling works. It became much more interesting once I understood the game. Unfortunately, neither Curling team won any medals during the Vancouver games, but that still doesn't take her out of the running for a Hot or Not.
So, this Hot or Not is going to work a little different. Seeing it that this is the Olympics Edition of Hot or Not, you are going to decide who takes medals for hotness among these three athletes. You can look up different pictures if you want, I just chose these three because they were decent size.
So who takes the Bronze Hot or Not medal? Silver? Gold? You decide. Leave your comments, I hope I don't get in trouble for this.
