Yeah, there'll be some team skating tonignt! The North American Men are gonna shut 'em out! (That's what they get for all the snarky newscasts today- and they can see how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot for a change!)  Whoa, didn't get this posted fast enough before the race. Woohoo! Told ya no one was gonna beat Apolo tonight! Well we almost had a shut out, Good try Jeff, you made it to the finals, and you almost shut his sorry ass out. (And the live feed teased me too, 'cause it originally had Jeff third) Figures no video today- I finally got two of the 3 feeds to work- and without throwing my computer into a hissy fit. bummer. |

So here's a question for the online experts.
People were saying from the start tonight that he was hot.
Do you think he really WAS, or was he just doing enough to get the job done?
I mean, I'm sure he wasn't expending more energy than he had to until the stakes got higher?

I mean, I'm sure he wasn't expending more energy than he had to until the stakes got higher? My understanding is that Apolo is not known for being a 500 expert (hence at worlds he does the 1000, and 1500) He knows he can't lag behind like he usually does, he's gotta tear it up right out of the shute and keep it - or it's goodnight nurse. After last night, I don't think he was going to let anyone get by him. Just Like WC6. He's on fire. |

Man- I wish they would just broadcast SOMETHING tonight so we could see Apolo's face...and maybe that big smile at some point.

I did everything you told me too,  plus I had to turn off a couple security features that were gumming up the works- plus i got more memory today and installed it. (Too bad I can't order more memory GB for my brain....)  D@mn some-timers..... |
