Well, France finished, so he must have been able to brush himself off and finish the race. But whoa, now John Henry's race is showing just him and COURNOYER racing in the splits. Huh? Duh? Wha???
OK, they finally fixed it. Geez...the result postings are just a hot mess. The live results are still stuck on the men's prelim prelim from a couple hours ago, the splits are a mess, and it takes forever for them to post on the main page.

Oh, I brought earbuds with me - for when (if) the video feed starts. I'm just too tired to try to find them at this late hour! 'Way to go, JH!

Haha - I saw where you put a bug in ISU's ear about the data feed! Yeah, they've only been doing this for what, 10 years? And it's worked flawlessly (maybe) once? Oh well, we shall overcome...

Yeah, you'd think they would have mastered it by now...NOT!

OK, they've either stopped the races completely for the last 10 minutes, or they are now REALLY punishing us for making wisecracks about the feed, and have now cut us off completely. I got nothin'...

Okay, any time now... Reviewing Heat 7? False starts in Heat 8?

Based on what I'm seeing now, I've successfully mastered time travel, 'cause they're back on Heat 3 - can I wager $1 million that John-Henry & France's Cournoyer will advance?

They've deleted the results of heats 5 thru 7. Reviewing all of them? Throwing all of the results out? Sending out for Pizza? (or Chinese Food?) WTH...

OK, now the results of ALL the races except heat one are gone. Apparently only Charles Hamelin and Freek Van Der Wart will be skating the 1/4 finals. Or we are now going backwards in time completely. We'll be back to the womens 1500 prelim prelim in about 10 minutes.
Geez, we can put a man on the moon...

Well, then I guess Charles and Freek are a lock for gold & silver - mebbe me & you can have a skate-off for bronze?

Hey, I actually got a reply on that FB post I made on ISU's page.
"ISU Short Track Speed Skating: Dear Michelle, We apologize for the inconvenience. In fact we are experiencing technical difficulties with our Live Results. We will work on it and inform you know as soon as the service is reestablished."
Yeah, no sh*t Sherlock. I won't hold my breath on this one...

Actually I'm quite impressed that they got back to you - and in the midst of the 'issues'. Hopefully this bodes well for the rest of the weekend!

The response time is better than what I'm getting here at the Marriott - about a 1-minute delay from the time I send a post 'till it shows up! Grrrr...
