Don't forget to join us at 9:30AM Eastern (6:30AM Pacific) tomorrow morning - FRIDAY - for the start of World Cup 2 from Quebec. Links to 'bookmark': Lap-by-Lap Data Results (look for the 'LIVE' button in the menu bar) www.sportresult.com/federations/ISU/ShortTrack/Tony Chung will be at the event and will most likely be hosting a live chat on his UStream that should help us 'fill in the gaps' - the video side will be black, but on the right side of the screen you'll see the chat... www.ustream.tv/channel/shorttrackhdSee y'all tomorrow AM! |

Results:
Heat 2: Kyle (1st)
Heat 4: Anthony (1st)
Heat 5: Simon Cho (2nd)
Looks like they might have gotten the lap count wrong - again (Tony said they screwed up several times in Montreal). They showed the Results after Lap 8 (should'a been 9)...
Up next (after a few more men's 1000M Prelims): Ladies 1500M Heats:
Heat 1: Emily
Heat 3: Katherine
Heat 4: Jessica

Whatever it was, it happened between lap 12 & 13, and Jeff may have been in qualifying position at the time - there was a PEN on the Russian, so maybe Jeff got advanced (?)
