Whereas the people of Canada opened their hearts and their home to the athletes 
        of the world;
Whereas the Olympics foster healthy competition and interaction among nations;
Whereas these games were not without moments of tribulation and tragedy, but the 
        courage and resolve of the athletes to continue was inspirational;
Whereas the United States won a record 37 medals, 9 gold, 15 silver, and 13 
        bronze;
Whereas the United States won the overall medal count for the first time since 
        1932, the highest medal total by any one nation in the history of the 
        Winter Olympics;
Whereas the United States men's and women's silver medal hockey teams excited 
        and inspired the games with their world class play;
Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno won his seventh and eighth medals to become the most 
        decorated United States Winter Olympian of all time;
Whereas the United States earned medals in Nordic Combined events for the first 
        time in history, took the gold in men's figure skating, and won a gold 
        medal in bobsledding for the first time since 1948;
Whereas United States teams and individual athletes should be honored for their 
        contributions to these monumental achievements;
Whereas some athletes must overcome great personal adversity to realize their 
        Olympic dreams;
Whereas the strong performances by United States Olympic athletes inspire 
        children across the Nation to engage in physical fitness, work hard, and 
        set high personal goals;
Whereas the dedication and sacrifice of the families, coaches, and communities 
        associated with Olympic athletes should also be recognized; and
Whereas the Olympic torch has been extinguished in Vancouver, but the flame of 
        camaraderie burns on in the hearts and minds of the world community: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

        of the world for an outstanding and inspiring 2010 Winter Olympics; and
