YAY! Lana is in the Superfinal! ...and dose, 'looks like Li Jianrou is still the overall leader! Not necessarily! I think it will depending on Cho Hari's results, Cho's 1000m and 3000m's points can not be ignored. And Lana, Go ahead!

He wasn't at the podium to accept his bronze medal. Are you just braggin' that you can SEE it, lol! Well yeah, I can 'see' it too, LOL...for exactly 1/4 of a second...and then it buffers for 15 seconds (and I counted it too) and then another 1/4 second of moving pictures...and then another 15 seconds of buffering...and so it goes. Unfortunately, I have no patience as a rule anyway - and after a busy day at work, I definitely have ADD...so I gave up on the live stream except for brief moments as my attention span wasn't up to the challenge.

We should know that USS has the worst organization and management. If we do not change it, we will keep depends on few skaters in the international competitions.
The fans should try to figure out what's going on and what's wrong in USS, and ask them to change. Skaters have been very discouraged due to many reasons.
Fortunately, Lori and Tony are doing very big role in US stort track world. Without them, ST is dead sports in US.

I finally closed all of my video players - the chop was too painful. But I was kind of enjoying the sound of the rink in the background for awhile - "go the the start", the starting gun, the crowd cheering. Even if it WAS 4 races ago...

I don't see Charles at the line. I think he's injured.

Oh oh. You're right Nico. No Charles in the super final. Well that just sucks. I hope it isn't anything serious...and long to heal...

Fontana is second, Drolet is third! I think this means that Li Jianrou is the Overall Champ! I'm not sure why they're not showing points, but the order of finish IS correct...

Fontana is second, Drolet is third! Pretty impressive for the ladies. 3 Chinese and a Korean in the mix, and who comes up with the goods? An Italian and 2 Canadians. Now there is something you don't see every day.

Agreed! I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
Rooting hard for the our ladies in the relay final. Team morale is probably low.

But until they wise up and hire people with an education and background in Marketing and Advertising, with a side order of business degree instead of ex -skaters, I doubt we're going to see much out of USS for Short Track. Long Track still seems to get more 'love' from the organization. I get that the skaters are frustrated and discouraged. I can't say as I blame them.
