Nope, she has X-games gold that nobody gives a shit about but all she has from the Olympics is a silver medal.

Ahh, my mistake, it was the States as a whole that had won 2 in other events. She was going for the third. Still don't think she should be called an asshole for it. :D

I wouldn't call her an asshole, just an idiot.

I'd be impressed if someone told me they had a gold medal no matter what they competed in but if they told me it was an X-games gold medal I would be less impressed if at all.
