Matt Boldy, the American hero who scored the opening goal in the U.S. Team's 2-1 overtime victory over Canada in the Gold Medal Game at the 2026 Winter Olympics, is not the first to pull this move, and he won't be the last. But that doesn't make it any less sick:

Sorry, folks, but you're alignment aid marker or special marker from the short-course du jour in golf has absolutely nothing on the Gold Medal. Much like the green jacket, I'd show this thing off literally everywhere if I ever won one. Supermarket, church, drinks with the boys, you name it. Neither of these things would come off. The guys who win these types of totems show remarkable restraint by not showing them off every second of every day.
