Crazy. Mens 1000m long track speedskating- difference between 1st and 9th is only .82 seconds. 1:08.39 to 1:09.21. Not much room for error IMO.

I guess that's kind of my point. The start, every single stride, the condition of the ice at every point of interaction....there is more to getting on the podium in many of these events. It's not necessarily who is the best or who has trained the best. Its a measurement at one point in time and could be different only ten minutes later or earlier.

He just didn't have it today, it was obvious. The start and first 200m were good, but beyond that, the next gear was just missing. He said he was feeling good and all, so I'm guessing it was a mental/focus issue. One he probably wasn't even aware of. It sucks, but that's how top tier sports go...even the best have off days, and just hope it doesn't come on a competition day.

My son actually did inline ss for a couple years. Won his usars regional and went to nationals in, you guessed it, Lincoln NE at Pershing aud. We've had a strong interest in the sport ever since. Of all his hockey medals and trophies, I think he is most proud of his gold (boys single) and bronze (mixed doubles) from that regional. I think our region was like 8-10 states. Sorry, had to brag a bit.

Went dancing the other night. When the band played "shout", I would shout. When the band played "jump", I jumped. When the band played "come on Eileen", I got escorted out.

Cheesey hashbrown potato casserole will surely be a factor of my demise.

It's not often but every once in awhile you'll run across a thread that renews your hope for humanity. Some of you HBers are really good guys (and gals).

Love me some short track speed skating. Really like it when the Koreans lose.

I guess I expected womens Olympic hockey to be a little more advanced.. Looks eerily similar to when my son played bantams.
