Ohno takes second behind Lee in men's 1,500

MARQUETTE, Wis. (AP) — U.S. star Apolo Anton Ohno has placed second behind Jung-Su Lee of South Korea in the men's 1,500-meter short track World Cup speedskating race.
Lee finished in 2 minutes, 13.595 seconds on Saturday and Ohno crossed in 2:13.731. Charles Hamelin of Canada was third.

China took the top two spots in the women's 1,500, with Zhou Yang finishing in 2:22.700 to edge Liu Qiuhong. Eun-Byul Lee of South Korea was third.

U.S. skaters Katherine Reutter and Allison Baver failed to make the women's finals. Reutter fell in her semifinal heat and Baver finished last in hers.

Saturday was the second round of qualifying for athletes to secure spots at the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver. Results from Marquette's World Cup will be combined with last week's World Cup results from Montreal.

Radio interview just now, live, with Allison:

Everyonee is really focused; everyone gearing up for finals in 500; pretty intense in there.
What are you saying to katherine and AO?
No, we're not talking to each other, we're in our own little world.
Ice is crazy fast. I expect to see some craziness in the finals.

Whoa...is that 'pocket rocket' chatting it up and announcing on the radio?

...and that concludes our programming for today....

[musicalmom]

Thanks everyone for posting the results...did I hear correctly, is Apolo sick? He sure didn't waver any if he is...Congrats on his Silver, but especially to the whole team who followed the game plan in spite of illness/injury and qualified 3 men and women for each distance as well as the relay. BRAVO!!! Now, go home, get well and heal up everyone...less than 3 months til Vancouver!

[bubblebuttsbabe]

If I calculated right, we missed the third women's 500M spot by four spots. :/ But I'm glad we got at least two - I was a little worried when I looked at the results after Montreal. We really needed Aly this week.

Here's to hoping we get all three spots for both teams tomorrow! :]

Oh and thanks mtnme for posting the results. Karma to you! (I love your emoticons!) :]

I read in a newspaper article earlier today (and I think I posted it in this thread) that we had already done enough to secure our spots, including only 2 in the women's 500. Are you thinking that this is not the case?
