Underdogs on Top

If you'd asked me who I thought would bring home a gold medal at Cup of China for the US, I would have immediately replied Belbin and Agosto and said that the other Americans competing didn't really have a chance.

Well, I'd be wrong. Jeremy Abbott won the short program and the freeskate, beating out fellow American Stephen Carriere and European Champion Tomas Verner. This means that the only gold medals this season for the US have not come from their number ones--Tanith and Ben, Evan Lysacek, Mirai Nagasu...--but from the runners up Meryl Davis and Charlie White and, now, Jeremy Abbott.

More on Cup of China later...I was just super-excited for Jeremy and had to write this!!!!
