In what has become the most inspiring story at the XXI Winter Olympiad, the luge was won Sunday by the most unlikely of competitors: Tom, a snowman rolled together just two days earlier by the Kansy family of Vancouver. 'Another barrier falls, marking a historic day for iced people everywhere,' was the call from NBC's Bob Costas as Tom took the top spot on the Olympic victory podium. 'Tom has proven it matters not the composition of your skin, only whether you are capable of competing at the highest possible level. He entered these Olympics as Tom the Snowman, but history will remember him as Tom the Luger.' Tom was unavailable for comment as the Kansy family had only given him a twig for a mouth.
