 Travis Jayner of the United States leads the race during the men's 500 metres final of the ISU World Short Track World Cup 5 in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, Sunday, Feb. 8, 2009.  Australia's Tatiana Borodulina, Jessica Smith of the U.S, Canada's Marie-Eve Drolet, Czech Republic's Katerina Novotna, Japan's Mika Ozawa and Italy's Arianna Fontana compete during the women's 1500-metre final at ISU World Cup Short Track 2008/2009 in Sofia February 7, 2009.  Lee Ho-suk of South Korea (166) leads his compatriot Lee Jung-su (167), Jordan Malone (L) of the U.S. and Yuri Confortola of Italy on his way to winning the men's 1000-metre final at the ISU World Cup Short Track 2008/2009 in Sofia February 8, 2009.   Francois-Louis Tremblay of Canada (117) leads Britain's Jon Eley (131), Jeff Simon (197) of the U.S. and Sung Si-bak of South Korea during the men's 500-metre final at ISU World Cup Short Track 2008/2009 in Sofia February 8, 2009.  It's hard to tell for sure, but I think that's Kimberly Derrick in 3rd.   Korea's Eun-Ju Jung leads the pack during the women's 1500m final at the 2009 ISU World Cup Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Sofia on February 7, 2009. Korea's Eun-Ju Jungwon the gold medal followed by US Katheine Reutter, silver and China's Yang Zhou, bronze. |

 JR before he had to scratch for the weekend.  The ladies relay  Kimberly Derrick. The ladies get no 'love'. No podium pictures for Kimberly, or the Women's bronze for the relay...and only a small fuzzy one for Katherine. *heavy sigh*  Jordan on the podium for his Silver Medal win at World Cup 5, Sofia, Bulgaria 2009  Jeff on the podium for his Bronze Medal win at World Cup 5, Sofia, Bulgaria 2009 |
