Jake Powers finished first in his heat against Creveling, Malone and Pivirotto, but got a Penalty for impeding
...and yet another scratch today - Tamara Frederick is not skating in the 500M(2), possibly because of the broken foot(?)

The live results say that Ryan Pivirotto finish a thousanth of a second ahead of Chris Creveling to move onto the next round instead of him. Ryan - 42.745 vs Chris - 42.746. Is that not accurate?

Racing is over for the day - as always, joy is mixed with sadness. The loss of John-Henry in this competition sucks - for all of us. Illness and injury has also claimed Robert Lawrence, April Shin, Tamara Frederick and Adam Callister. We wish all of them a speedy and complete recovery. But on the flipside, the joy on the podium today was infectious! Congrats to J.R. and Jessica on their dominance of the competition thus far, and to Emily & Eddy for their nominations to the team. One particularly fun moment today was the Men's Podium Ceremony. J.R. (once again) got a bottle of champagne to spray, but he gallantly offered it to his newly-announced teammate Eddy. As Eddy was having a blast (literally) with the bottle, Jordan used J.R. as a 'shield', haha! ...and a shameless plug - the 3 men on the podium today are all SOCAL skaters!!! ---------------------- Tomorrow is the final day of competition - the 1000M. TV coverage starts at 4pm Eastern on NBCThey announced that racing starts at 10:15am Mountain Time ------------------- For results before the TV broadcast starts...

Thanks! I glanced at the Day 2 earlier today, but I haven't had a chance to 'digest' it yet - and I wasn't aware there was a Day 3!

Advancing for the Men - Eddy Alvarez, Kyle Carr, J.R. Celski, Travis Jayner, Chris Creveling, Keith Carroll, Kyle Uyehara, Aaron Tran, Jordan Malone (advanced)
In the final heat, there was significant contact between John-Henry Krueger and Jordan Malone. Jordan fell, and John-Henry got a Penalty. Because Jordan was in a qualifying position at the time, he got advanced.
In an earlier Heat, Ryan Pivirotto was Penalized for impeding after contact with Chris Creveling

Wow, 15 minutes later and the officials are STILL looking at that last race. We're right behind their monitors, but we can't really tell. It'll be interesting to see if they show it on the broadcast and hear what the TV commentators say...
