They're taking too stinkin' long to post the results. I hope we're not looking at DQ's in this semi as well.

...mmmmm, it's not official yet, it's taking forever to post the results - never a good sign. Especially given the DQ mania at this event. I've never seen anything like it! To quote Eddie Izzard...it's all so very 'Prussian' isn't it? "You VIL not cross-track - nicht!" "You VIL not impede - nicht! 'You VIL not pass without at least 4' to spare" -ja? "You VIL skate in a straight line, and you VIL like it!"  |

Korea, Italy, the U.S. and Hungary in the final.
I'm smelling podium.
The men's semis look like they are split fairly. I like our chances.

LOL, Mtnme! Korea and Canada take the first semi...no shocker there. What a strange semi for us. I think we're looking at some DQ's there as well. ...or not.  Well at least they'll get some valuable experience competing in the B Final. |
