Congrats to Apolo! That's what happens when Apolo is one-on-one against a Korean instead of three-on-one and beeing team skated! After hours of Korean news and Korean soap operas, I was able to get a video feed here: mms://211.220.195.199/tvlive?f4yWFnv5tsGmzBrLNrz7FQ00 Copy and paste to your browser and it should open up to your media player directly. Hope everyone has better luck with the feed tomorrow, and here's to hoping they will actually broadcast LIVE! Some pics from the 500 meters:       |

AP - 37 minutes agoSEOUL, South Korea
\Apolo Anton Ohno of the United States bounced back from Friday's disappointment to take the 500 meters gold medal on the second day of the World Short Track Speedskating Championships on Saturday.
The two-time Olympic champion finished in 42.568 to claim gold, a day after being disqualified from the 1500 meters final.
He finished ahead of Canada's Charles Hamelin, who skated in 42.625.
Song Kyung-taek of South Korea, who won gold in the 1500 meters, was third in a time of 42.632. Simon Jeff of the United States completed the final field with 42.906.
In the women's 500 meter final, China's Wang Meng picked up her second gold in two days with a time of 43.888.
She beat home compatriot Liu Qiuhong, who had 43.973. Kalyna Roberge of Canada took the bronze with 44.018. Zhou Yang, the third Chinese representative in the final, finished fourth.
There are 238 athletes from 32 countries gathered in the eastern coastal city of Gangneung for the last short-track International Skating Union competition of the 2007-08 season.
The action will continue Sunday with the 1000 meters competition.

THAT'S IT -- that's the smile I wanted to see tonight. Thank you sk8on. He just looks so serene and content. GO APOLO GO! No Kidding! These are glorious, especially after the WC6 pics. Someone must have told him to smile! And you can sure tell by the first pic that he's listening to HIS national anthem. And in the lower pictures he looks just, so....satisfied! Wonderful, just wonderful. |

I'm in a hurry to get ready for work and had to check in here for the latest news. (I checked the ISU web site first to see the results) and then read the posts here. Since I was in such a hurry I was only going to read the last page but something made me go back to page 48. I'm so glad I did. The pictures there are wonderful. I agree that Apolo's smile looks satisfied. I saw the first picture of him holding up the flowers to the crowd and thought he doesn't look thrilled. Then, scrolled down to the other pictures and was blown away.
Have a great day gals, I hope to see you again tonight.
