Whew! I just got caught up posting World Cup 3 & 4 results onto the skaters' individual threads (better late than never, haha)! Getting ready to head to the rink soon. TWO members of our Olympic team will be determined tonight!!! NBC starts their broadcast at 8pm Eastern tonight - Check Tony's spreadsheet links and the USS Results links that I and mittel posted upthread for the early rounds and skaters that may not be covered by NBC. All the info you need in order to keep up with the competition from start to finish is posted above. If you have trouble finding any links or info, just ask (this thread is open to both members AND guests). Someone will surely be able to help!

Advancing in the 1500M(1):
Ladies: Jessica Smith, Lana Gehring, Kimi Goetz, Emily Scott, Aly Dudek, Sarah Chen
Men: Kyle Carr, J.R. Celski, Chris Creveling, Jordan Malone, Travis Jayner, Eddy Alvarez
Nothing out of the ordinary for the Ladies - the men had contact between Alvarez and John- Henry Krueger, resulting in a Penalty to JH. Keith Carroll also fell in his race, but there was no contact - he just slid out in the turn.

Long break now - a little over an hour before the 1500M(2). Ladies Final A results: 1) Jessica Smith 2) Emily Scott 3) Aly Dudek 4) Sarah Chen 5) Kimi Goetz 6) Lana Gehring Men Final A Results: 1) J.R. Celski 2) Chris Creveling 3) Jordan Malone 4) Eddy Alvarez 5) Travis Jayner 6) Kyle Carr In the Mens A Final, Kyle Carr fell while attempting an outside pass in the turn. A few laps later, Travis Jayner also fell in just about the same place. Lexi Burkholder fell in the C Final, and Brittany Salmon got a Penalty for impeding in the B Final. In the Mens B Final, Ryan Pivirotto got a Penalty after contact with Kyle Uyehara Also in the Mens B Final, Adam Callister took himself out of the race (intentionally) at the start - he skated to the center and actually sat down on the ice to wait out the race. He looked kind of ill...

1500M(2) Semis: The same 6 men advanced as in the 1500M(1): Creveling, Carr, Malone, Jayner, Alvarez, Celski For the Ladies, The only change was that Brittany Salmon advanced and Kimi Goetz did not: Salmon, Smith, Gehring, Dudek, Scott, S. Chen Sadly (and surprisingly), John-Henry Krueger fell in about the same place as in the 1500M - no Penalties were called, so he does not advance.

First member of the Olympic Team... JESSICA SMITH!!!
She finished second in the A Final, but her points were enough to win the Distance. She pumped her fist, nearly jumped over the pads to hug her coach Jae Su, then boot-maker Paul Marchese, then her fiance Mike Koorman.
SO happy for her!

Tony Chung (Shorttrackhd) is doing a post trials show starting now here's the link: www.justin.tv/shorttrackhdjustin.tv/shorttrackhd UPDATE: The stream has ended for the day. Here are some of the points Tony Chung and Sophia Milan Switters talked about on the stream: - Adam Callister had a concussion a few weeks ago, suffered some symptoms today which is why he pulled out but he could still race tomorrow.
- April Shin and Robert Lawrence are both suffering flu symptoms. That's why April struggled in the time trials and Robert scratched.
- Tamara Frederick broke her foot 2 weeks ago and that’s why she pulled out of the last today but still plans to skate the 500m tomorrow.
- Tony will ask around and try to find out exactly what Chris Creveling was penalized for and let his twitter followers know when he finds out. Watch for that.
Tony plans to do the post show again tomorrow after the competition finishes so keep an eye on his Twitter for when it starts.

Thank you for the info, sk8erfan! It was PACKED today at the rink - a great show of support for the sport! Tomorrow will be the 500M, where potentially 2 more skaters could be added to the Olympic team. NBCSN coverage starts at 4pm EasternSkating (warmups) start at 10AM Mountain Time (but at some point today they were announcing 10:35, so I'm not positive about this...) If you're following USS' or Tony Chung's data results, you should start seeing results by about 11am Mountain Time. USS' results: results.wrandco.com/(select Oly Trials from the drop-down menu) Tony's spreadsheets: docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AkKaRsNHioRqdHR3SjVUMThPU1NfTnBsVEpqM0s5M0E&f=true&noheader=true&gid=52(select events from the blue links in the header)

Here are a couple of fun shots from our member Lily Ikemoto during the medal ceremony last night! J.R. and Jessica were given champagne, and in Jessica's picture, it's Aly Dudek getting the champagne shower, with Emily Scott ducking in the background. Eddy Alvarez looks like he's saying "BRING IT ON!" to J.R. Celski as Chris Creveling looks on.

Oh dear - not sure why Kimi Goetz isn't in her Semifinal. She's standing all by herself in the heat box with her helmet on. I wonder if she was late for her heat(?)
the Ladies A Final will be: Jessica Smith, Sarah Chen, Emily Scott, Aly Dudek
