Thanks for the great pictures and the eyewitness reports. I'm sure we all wish we could be there.

Well,  Mtnme, thanks so muchh for these awesome photos. What would we do without you? Since you can't take videos now during a WC, your inspirational photos are all that we have to go on.... I hear that USS is looking for you, and your unusual expertise: ==================================
Entry-Level Photo Finish Officials Clinic

If you ever had a desire to work at a speedskating meet as a Photo Finish Judge, here is an opportunity to attend a clinic and learn what it is all about. It is designed to be an entry-level training course, but will qualify participants to be a part of the Photo Finish timing group at events and is the entry to more advanced training and responsibilities. ============================== Luv ya!  |

Me too, but only the flashing numbers..
I have to say it's better than dots, but not as good as live TV or webcam.
Wonder why they block out Canada but include the Virgin Islands and Australia?
Oh well, I'll see it for real next weekend .
Sounds like Apolo is in better shape skatewise today. I love that he so classy that even though disappointed at his fall, he congratulated the Koreans. What a man!
Back to the numbers...Thanks to Mntme for her pictures! blurry is better than none at all and they are getting clearer!

Good effort on Allison's part. That was a tough race. I was exhausted just watching them.
Great job in the previous race from Katherine.
So cool to be able to watch this!

The guy is A-AMAZING> he was in 4th pladce....went outside the 3rd place racer to then thread in FRONT of him over to the left, and advance past the frist 2 guys, into first place.
How the heck does anyone think that fast? COmmentators said he made it look effortless and his blades are definitely working for him now.
