Well maybe not - Mtnme did say they started late... the schedule says :19 past the hour, but nothing yet...

Apparently THEY are starting on time, but WE won't get to see any info until after the race is run... unless you get lucky on the splits, which have only been working intermittently. I've had next to no luck at all on the live results. It freezes up after a couple laps, and the guys last race was stuck on Charles Hamelin's heat for the rest of the heats.

...like I said. It's like pulling teeth!

[mtnme]

Well, it looks like Aly's race was working for the live results (...after I had given up on it and hadn't even bothered looking on that tab/screen.)

[Laura (Lori)]

Yay! All the USA ladies advance!

Yeah mtnme, I'm pretty much just looking at the final results page and occasionally the splits. I think my IPad just isn't compatible with this process...

[mtnme]

I'm not on an ipad, I've got a full on, relatively new laptop, and it still is not working well. The live results seem to be working a bit better. I may be speaking too soon tho, LOL!

[mtnme]

Lori, I went ahead and posted this. I figured I could get it up faster on my laptop than you could on an ipad...I could be wrong though

Top 2 Skaters from each heat and the next 12 fastest thirds qualify for Preliminaries.

[Laura (Lori)]

Yup, you're right - you're gonna be much faster - and congrats on the new 'puter!

Mens 500M up next. Eddy Alvarez has the Jessica position (i.e., 2 distances in a row) for the guys.

We'll also see John-Henry & J.R. in their first races...

[mtnme]

Anthony Lobello and Blake Skellerup in the same race.

[mtnme]

Photo finish on John Henry's race. I wonder how that's gonna play out. He was #2 until the very end.

[mtnme]

Phooey, he didn't make the automatic advance, but he could still advance if he's in the 14 fastest thirds.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. Penalty called on China. John Henry qualifies!

[Laura (Lori)]

Yeah, JH got edged out by 2 one- hundredths of a second!

BUT - 14 out of 15 thirds advance, and JH already beat out one 'third', so I'm thinking he's in!

[mtnme]

Just noticed penalty called on China. John Henry qualifies!

J.R. qualifies.

Neither Anthony Lobello or Blake Skellerup automatically qualify. Let's hope they advance as one of the 14 fastest thirds.

[Laura (Lori)]

In the following heat, Anthony Lobello was third, but he also beat out one third-place guy, so he's in too! But bummer, Blake's out (NZL). Not a good day for the Kiwi's in the 500M - not a happy day for them in SFO either...

BTW, what a comeback for USA in America's Cup sailing!!!

[Laura (Lori)]

I corrected myself above - I don't see where they're running each distance 8 times this year. Only once per WC, a total of 4 times.
