Samsung ISU World Cup Short Track 2008/2009 day two medal results
Team Korea takes home five medals, Canada's Hamelin brothers finish first and third

VANCOUVER, Oct. 25 /CNW/ - After a successful day one of heats and qualifications for the Samsung ISU World Cup Short Track 2008/2009, held at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, BC, day two saw four events award medals for the men's and ladies.

Team Korea took home five medals (one gold, two silver and two bronze); team China skated away with three medals (two gold, one silver) and team Canada took home two medals (one gold, one bronze).

In the men's 1000 metre final, USA's superstar Apolo Ohno was disqualified near the end of the race. "It's out of my control," Ohno said after the race was finished. "But it's a good experience. I'm glad I get to do the final here in Vancouver. I'm just trying to get all the information I can and come back strong tomorrow."

"I feel great," said Charles Hamelin of Canada, who won gold in the men's 1000 metre final. "That's what I wanted to do, win the gold medal, and have a good race. I didn't get much of a chance to compete against all the top guys last week, and I wanted to learn all I could and try and impose my rhythm."

This event marks the first time a short track speed skating World Cup has been held in Vancouver. The Pacific Coliseum lower bowl reached near capacity, as just under 3,000 fans came out to cheer on athletes from Canada, USA, China, Korea and the Netherlands to name a few.

"This is the first time I've ever been to a short track speed skating event," said David Reimer, a spectator from Vancouver. "It was really
interesting to see how the skaters jostled for position around the corners. This is something I'll definitely check out come 2010."

The final day of the Samsung ISU World Cup Short Track 2008/2009 takes place Sunday, October 26, 2008, and will see the ladies and men's 500 metre finals, ladies and men's 1000 metre final, ladies 3000 metre relay and men's 5000 metre relay.

Hamelin brothers own podium
MATTHEW SEKERES
Globe and Mail Update
October 25, 2008 at 9:28 PM EDT

VANCOUVER — Canada's Charles Hamelin conquered two superstars of short-track speed skating en route to a first-place finish on Day 2 of the International Skating Union's World Cup Saturday.

Hamelin, of Sainte-Julie, Que., took the 1,000-metre race at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum before 2,718 in a thrilling finish that was complete with contact and controversy. Anthony Lobello of the United States was second, and Hamelin's younger brother Francois finished third.

"To win the race, and have a race like that, I think it's what you want," Charles Hamelin said of showcasing his sport in the Olympic city. "A lot of action, a good finish at the end [and] some Canadians on the podium."

Charles Hamelin's victory was under review in the moments following the race as he and American Apolo Anton Ohno bumped early in the race and Ohno made contact with Kwak Yoon-Gy on the final turn and sent the Korean wide and out of contention. Kwak is the top ranked skater in the world at 1,000 metres. Ohno, a former Sports Illustrated cover boy, is fourth.

Ohno, who crossed the line second, was disqualified after the race for cross-tracking with four laps to go, allowing the young Hamelin to move onto the podium. The Seattle-area native called the decision unfair.

"I had the right of way because I had the lead and Charles hit me twice," said Ohno, adding that he believed Hamelin should have been disqualified.

Hamelin disputed Ohno's view of the race and said the American bumped him twice and that he kept his line through the corner.

Francois Hamelin earned just his second World Cup podium finish, passing a Korean skater on the last lap.

The ISU world cup serves as a test event for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver-Whistler. The competition began on Friday with preliminaries and heats. It concludes on Sunday.

In the women's 1,000 metres, Marianne St-Gelais, of St-Félicien, Que., advanced furthest among the Canadians, but was eliminated in the quarterfinals. China posted a one-two finish in the final behind Wang Meng and Liu Qiuhong. Korea's Yang Shin-Young was third.

No Canadian made it through to the 1,500-metre finals.

On the men's side, Michael Gilday of Yellowknife and Olivier Jean of Lachenaie, Que. were both disqualified in the semifinals for impeding. Rémi Beaulieu-Tinker of Alma, Que. just missed qualifying for the finals after a third-place finish in his semifinal heat. Only the top two in each heat advanced to the final.

"It's going to happen… that's part of the deal," Gilday said about the disqualification, which he said was warranted. "Ultimately, the big goal is in a year and a half, and everything we learn here is put in the memory bank."

In the final, Korea's Lee Jung-Su narrowly edged countryman Sung Si-Bak in a photo finish to take first place. Jeff Simon of the United States placed third.

On the women's side, hometown favourite Jessica Hewitt of Kamloops was disqualified in the semifinals for crossing the track. Valérie Maltais of La Baie, Que. was fourth in her heat, and Marie-Andrée Mendes-Campeau of Montreal was sixth.

China's Zhou Yang won followed by Koreans Jung Eun-Ju in second and Shin Sae-Bom in third.

The 500-metres and relay heats and finals are scheduled for Sunday. So is another 1,000-metres men's race.

The relay finals are also scheduled for Sunday.

In the women's 3,000-metre relay, Canada finished second in its heat and qualified for the final. The men's team won its 5,000-metre heat and will also skate in the final.

They are both saying the other did the same thing. I guess we will never know. ;]

Fans go wild for short-track skaters
180 of the world's best skaters are in Vancouver
John Colebourn, The Province
Published: Sunday, October 26, 2008

Vancouver Island resident Coleen Heenan knows where she will be when the Olympics arrive in 15 months.

She'll be back at the Pacific Coliseum, the same place she was yesterday, watching the world's best short-track speed skaters.

About 180 of the world's best are in Vancouver this weekend competing in the pre-Olympic Samsung ISU World Cup.

A crowd of 3,000 took in the day's events -- the first time a world-class short-track speed skating event has been held in B.C.

As the fans went wild when Canadian speed-skating star Charles Hamelin beat American star Apolo Anton Ohno in the men's 1,000-metre short-track final to take first, Heenan said she plans on getting tickets for the Olympic short-track events taking place at the Coliseum.

"People who see this will definitely come back," she said of the events that had their share of competitors crashing into the corner pads. "Why wouldn't they?

"With this sport, you never know what is going to happen," she said of the skaters who took some good, big crashes.

Heenan also said the crowd was starting to understand what the sport was all about after just a few heats.

"The announcers are doing a great job explaining the events to the public," she said.

In order to run the events, the Coliseum had some modifications. The boards for hockey have been taken out and replaced with thick padding in case the competitors lose an edge.

The ice has been closely monitored to try to ensure it is going to be the same temperature and hardness as actual Olympic ice.

"This is a very exciting sport when you see it live," said Jessica Smythe, 32, of Vancouver, who was at the event with friends.

Smythe said she often goes to Vancouver Giants hockey games at the Coliseum and wanted to see what speed skating was like live.

"Now that I've seen it live, I want tickets for these Olympic events," she said.

For the competitors, the three-day event was a chance to see what is in store once the Olympics come in 15 months.

American J.R. Celski, who placed fourth in the men's 1,500-metre final, said they are preparing now to help them when they come again for the Olympics.

"This is a big test event for us," he said. He said he liked the ice surface, noting it "has more grip to it."

Tim Gayda, VANOC's vice-president of sport, said the test event has gone off very well.

"We couldn't be happier."

Short track has come a long way since the '90s
But it's still a quirky cross between roller derby and NASCAR
Ed Willes, The Province
Published: Sunday, October 26, 2008

It says something about his sport but, at the ripe old age of 28, Francois-Louis Tremblay can look back at the evolution of short track speed skating the way Walter Hagen could look back at the evolution of professional golf.

When Tremblay first started way back in the late '90s, for example, skate blades were crudely welded to the boot in one piece. Imagine.

Training methods and race strategies, in comparison to today's standards, were also from another planet. And don't get him started about the remarkable acceleration in times.

"I used to win the 500 in 41.9," says Tremblay, the three-time Olympic medallist from Alma, Que. "Now that would barely make the semifinals. Last week [at World Cup races in Salt Lake City], the winning time was 41.2. That was unthinkable five years ago."

So it's a given that short track, which premiered as an Olympic medal event in 1992, has come a long way in its brief history. But for this sport, the more interesting question is where does it go from here because, after its promising start, it has yet to move beyond the niche it carved out when Tremblay first started.

"I've seen pretty well all the ages of short track," says Tremblay. "It used to be a second-hand sport. Then we became a really important sport in Canada."

That's, at least, the story in Canada. But it's how short track plays to the rest of the world which will determine its future.

In its initial exposure to the home of the 2010 Games, short track has offered an interesting representation of everything it is and everything it's not this weekend at the ISU World Cup event.

The show, which drew a sparse gathering of 2,718 Saturday, is endlessly entertaining, compressing the speed and grace of long track into a race that looks like a cross between roller derby and NASCAR. There's also an element of officiating that is completely incomprehensible to everyone but the sport's stewards, which only adds to the fun.

In the men's 1,000-metre final, for example, Apolo Anton Ohno, the sport's poster boy, swapped paint with Canadian Charles Hamelin and South Korea's Yoon-Gy Kwok over the nine laps before Hamelin took the gold with a dramatic move in the last lap.

Ohno, for his part, was disqualified, well, because somebody has to be.

"I got hit twice," said an obliging Ohno afterwards. "I had the right of way because I had the lead and Charles kind of hit me twice. I thought for sure he was going to be disqualified."

So why was he DQ'd?

"I have no idea," Ohno said.

Still, the World Cup has also revealed something about the challenge facing short track heading toward 2010 because the sport is essentially an ongoing Four Nations Cup, with Canada, the U.S. and China chasing the juggernaut from Korea.

On Saturday, the four countries accounted for all 12 medals in the four finals with the Koreans winning five medals. Last week in Salt Lake City, the Koreans took home six golds and 13 medals in the 10 events. And, in Turin, Korea won 10 medals, including six golds.

Now, those results speak for themselves and the Koreans don't have to apologize for setting the standard for the rest of the world. But their dominance also makes it hard to sell the sport in North America and Europe and the Koreans' remoteness doesn't make things any easier.

"I think this sport is amazing," said Ohno, a Seattle-area native. "It's got everything people love about performance and extreme sports. Hopefully we can get more people out to watch."

And hopefully, they'll keep watching.

Ohno. Flou.

Flou talking about times makes me laugh cause its true - just goes to show you how far ST has gone - makes me really happy. :]

Glad that one of the articles described the DQ....

You don't usually hear APolo talk about what happened, especially in a DQ. But Hurray for Charles, it must have been so exciting...to beat Apolo on home ice and take the gold.

Francois Hamelin earned just his second World Cup podium finish, passing a Korean skater on the last lap.

Hi guys! Found a short CBC news piece on the World Cup and interview with Apolo. Not sure how long this will be up. Interview starts at 36:00 and other report from the rink starts around 50:20.

You can click on full screen...just look under the broadcast window. Go USA!

I see that Lana, Maria, and Aly Dudek all qualified in their heats. Yay!

Very true. I noticed that since the drama surrounding the DQ in the 2002 olympics that lead to his first gold, Apolo adopted sort of a "well, it happens" attitude when he gets DQ'd. This time however he must have felt very strongly that he was right. If that's how he really felt then I'm glad he spoke up.

Samantha thank you for this! I see the skaters got a couple of segments all within one broadcast. Guess that's what you get when you skate OUTSIDE THE STATES

They'd have to kill somebody on the ice to get that here and even then it may not make the top of the news.

Let me stop fussing. They probably got a nod in Salt Lake last week and I just didn't see it.

I still find it amusing how he refers to DWTS as "that dancing show" Could he be avoiding the word Star? Or does he just not want the foxtrot to be what he's best known for hard as he's worked as an athlete? ;D

[autumnsbliss]

Interesting to see how the media is ONCE AGAIN trying to stir up some drama.

I agree, usually Apolo (and other skaters) don't voice about a call. Must have been a very tight knit race, I will have to review it to see the contacts/cross tracking made. You hate to see a judge be harsher on you just because you are one of the top skaters, I really hope that it was just a "bad angle" to make it look like Apolo was the one at fault. Shake it off Apolo, just let it be fuel to you for today.
