10 Olympians To Root For Now That Lindsey Vonn Is Out

The blonde chick is out. So what? We've just been saved from countless shots of Tiger Woods in cold-weather Nike gear. There's a ton of Alpine and Snowboarding stars that deserve rousing USA! USA! cheers all through February.

Bleacher Report already hails her as the next Lindsey, and anyway, she has a pet reindeer. Yes, that's right. She is so good she WON A REINDEER at the World Cup in Finland.

Besides beating Bode by a full second at Bird of Prey, his helmet hair looks like Zac Efron's five-hour coiff. Well. Done.

3. Kelly Clark

You can not hide your love? Well, we cannot hide our love for you Kelly. She has more wins than any other female OR male snowboarder in HISTORY.

4. Bode Miller

Bode's custody battle is over, so NBC can focus on his knee surgery comeback. Also those baby blue eyes (sigh).

5. Hannah Teter

re: Russia's homosexuality laws: “I would definitely do whatever, anything that would help with the process of them changing their views on that subject.” Is she gonna be a rabble-rouser? “That’s what snowboarders do, we break rules." LOVE.

6. Shaun White

The Squaw Valley gal wears a tiara and clearly knows how to dance party. Also, she's won more major championship medals than any other American female skier (including LV) and is set to rack up some more glitz for the crown.

Excuse me, why don't I just give you a smoldering glance through my goggles before shredding some backcountry pow and then hopping up onto the super G podium. Thank you and good evening.

9. David Chodounsky

David was the American hero at Val d’Isere last month, rocking into 7th ahead of every other dude on the US ski team. (See his way-better-than-Taylor-Swift surprised face of joy?) You can always trust a guy whose hometown throws a festival with bonfires and harvest maiden and a Green Man.

10. Ty Walker

RISING STAR ALERT: Ty hasn't clinched her spot yet, but she will. Because this 16-year-old is badass and ripping 720s in Breck even if she can't drive a car legally by herself in most states.
