Pretty exciting sport. I don't think I breathed during some of those races.
I was so happy to see both Apolo and JR win silver and bronze! Go Washington state!! I wish the koreans had taken the other korean with them.. Apolo would have won the gold! To bad!

They're replaying the Mens Long Track Race from earlier on CTV and I just wiped the drool off the TV *again* after watching Sven Kramer's Gold Medal Race. That man's strokes down the straightaways...So fluid and gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!
Are you kidding me? You win speed skating because you can skate faster than other racers with better technique and strategy, not through some accidental wipe out of the frontrunners.. Lee Jung Su clearly earned the gold here (He's #1 in this distance, so no surprise here). Apolo took silver, but the way he wins races leaves a wierd afterthought. I wish I didn't feel like that. Still, Apolo did win this race fair and square.
Surprised Charles Hamelin didn't make it to the finals. He's a very strong skater. I guess 500m is more of his distance.
You wil spee dskating because you can skate faster WITHOUT ANY MISTAKES!!! The accident happened because of lack of technique and strategy. You are right. Apolo and JR did get medals FAIR and SQUARE!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! APOLO AND JR!!!!! I am so happy!!!!!!
I find it funny how the American media is all over Apolo Ohno b/c through a stroke of dumb luck he captured a silver medal, the Koreans should have gotten the 1-2-3 sweep b/c their skating skills are superior to Apolo's. :
