WC 6, Dresden Germany 2009

[breidy]

Thanks, Lori, for that good news.

[gasp]

Jordan's okay. That's good news. Love the pics mtnme.

All those empty seats (again) for a premiere WC. Makes you wonder how Short Track sold out so quickly for the Olympics.

Good luck to Jessica in the reps

[Lori]

I'm confused - what time does the party start tonight?

[gasp]

11 central time I THINK heavy on the "THINK"

Lori, I believe races start at 3:35 AM Eastern Time, 12:35 AM Pacific--if the 09:35 AM local Dresden time start is correct. And thank you for the earlier update on Jordan. Good news indeed.

That's for the repechage and the US only has Jessica Smith skating. (at least at first glance...I didn't notice another USA skater on the roster)

The main event starts as follows. (What sk8on and I were laughing about last night)

14:03 Dresden time which translates to:

And that converts to 8:03 am for you Eastcoasters. Another 5am start for us West Coasters.

Yeah, and make sure you don't forget about those 3 minutes, they'll be starting those on the dot and not one minute later! Not 14:04, not 14:05...

LOL! Thank you, mtnme. How could I forget to mention the 14:03 Dresden time races?!?! I will be here on the dot for those---the repechage, not so much. Good luck to Jessica Smith, but 3:35 AM is way past sleepy time for me.

You ladies are doing such a good job. Have you guys had any sleep? Man, I hope Francois Hamelin is okay. Thought I'd login and say hi!

Yeah, I called it a night after Jessica's first repachage race (sorry Jess...)

given todays start, maybe I shoulda slept through it ....

[sk8on]

Kimberly and Katherine move on to the 1500m final. Yay!

mtnme, thank you for posting the results---I overslept and missed the start this morning. I see DQs are continuing to plague the skaters today too.
