Oprah's Going For Gold

With the U.S. winning so many medals, the fight is on to see who can get some of that Olympic shine to rub off on them!

Oprah Winfrey sure’s trying hard to capitalize off the success of the games.

Various reports are stating that Momma O is trying to get every U.S. gold medalist together for a single show, to possibly air on September 11th.

Overall, the US won 36 gold medals.

Agents for different medal winners confirmed that the show’s producers had contacted them over the weekend about appearing on a special edition. And even the Olympians are confirming the news!

Ronda Rousey, the first American to ever win a medal in judo, confirmed the offer on her website this weekend, stating “I am going to be on Oprah September 11th on some Olympic medalists special.”

But if Oprah manages to get everyone, they’ll likely be more than 36 winners, as some of the medals were given in team sports. Such as the US basketball team, which won the gold medal, consists of 12 players.

However, a rep for Oprah said yesterday that the show “is not confirmed.”

We’re guessing some of the bigger stars from the Olympics might want to appear in their own special and not share the spotlight?

Let’s see if the show makes it to air.

Either way, it’s a good show of patriotism on the day we remember 9/11.
