Way to go J.R.! With Ahn right on his heels this is looking a little like deja vu. Celski has every bit as much talent as Ohno. Very exciting Olympics shaping up. Gotta say though, just for ONCE can't some other woman win the 500? And the new U.S. men are going to do just fine. Impressive performances, and with so many of the experienced Canadian men retired after 2014 they just may have more opportunities on the podium. For such a small sport in this country our shortrackers really put our country on the map.....in spite of historic deficiencies in their program.

Good luck to Brett in Bakersfield, @lilyover80! Thanks, Lori! It's been a looong day, since 4:30am. Brett's team fought thru 3 games, winning by 1 point after see-saw scoring right down to the last 20 seconds! I was glad to see the results of J.R.'s 1500m race here, to pass this info on to my 'family'... Brett was very excited for J.R.'s GOLD MEDAL today as well as his (Brett's) own!

Yikes - both Jordan & Chris were 3rd. Hoping the times hold up for both of them, but Jordan's heat was considerably faster than Chris'....

J.R. finished 1st in his heat, and will advance - Chris is 'on the bubble' for fastest thirds, with one heat to go. Let's hope it's a S-L-O-W one!

Whew! Emily finishes 2nd and will advance. Zhou Yang (CHN) ran 4th for the whole race, and I expected her to pass, but she never really gave it a go. I'm pretty sure China has sewn up all their slots, so I suppose there was no need...

I'm happy to see Elise Christie back in the lineup, but dang, after Aly made a nice pass on the NED skater, Elise passed Aly in the last lap for 2nd! EDIT: Aly got a Penalty for that pass! Up next - Mens 1000M Quarterfinals: Heat 1 - Jordan Malone Heat 3 - J.R. Celski Top 2 advance - no thirds

Jordan advances! I think the Japanese skater got him for 2nd at the finish line, but the Japanese skater got a Penalty. Too bad for An - unlucky to be in 4th position when the Penalty happened.

No offense, Russia, but I liked the zamboni music better in Italy...

No offense, Russia, but I liked the zamboni music better in Italy... To me it sounds like a lullaby. Maybe the fact that it's 6:45am on a Sunday has something to do with that but still. That is until someone starts blowing that horn...
