therockerfairy - I'm Katherine's mom and want to thank you sooooooo much for posting the screen shots of Katherine and Jeff on the podium! It's tough having to 'watch' those flashing numbers from afar and then hoping pictures pop up somewhere to share in the excitement of a win.

Thank you, RockFairy for those screen grabs of Katherine! I know how much work it is to get those online, and it's much appreciated! The Google Alerts are coming non-stop, and there are more 'goodies' to post, but it's been a long day, so I'm gonna sign off and try to get some sleep. I'll see y'all in the morning - 9am Eastern; 6am Pacific. Good luck to the team tomorrow!

Reviews for the first day of competition (by 923087863 from China short track forum)
Short Track Speed Skating World Championships competitions of first day finished in all ice fans expectations. Through the competition of first day may be found, the short track speed skating multi-polarization tendency already emerged. Women's gold medal have been broken by the China and South Korea monopolies' situation.
About the Ladies 1500m, Chinese team performance may say commendable. Liu Qiuhong are the reasons for the recovery of injured, can only reduce the training opportunity on the 1500m. About she was out of the semi-final, may understood. Fan Kexin is a rookie, 1500m is not her strong point, even if lost, also can not deny her performance. Li Jianrou is first time participates in the world championships, She has indeed displayed her nation championship tournament champion strength. No matter she beat PARK Seung-Hi in heats or transcend YANG Shin-Young in the final, She was very decisive in the race, this may say be appreciated by Li Yan. Regarding the South Korean women team's performance in 1500m, I think this is expected. After all YANG Shin-Young's absolute strength and ability are inferior to REUTTER Katherine, CHO Ha Ri's status already was inferior to Asian Winter Games, then Moscow stop 1000m, she had not even ways to deal with Li Jianrou. As for PARK Seung-Hi, although 1500m have got the silver medal, but this also has reflected this person capability are limited in did not foul situation. Regarding US team's REUTTER Katherine, she deserved. Her strength, ability are absolutely first-class, now her defective is the technical exquisite degree, especially go beyond‘s exquisite degree. The final laps can withstand continuously and can won the championship by a big superiority, this is really admirable. And Katherine's the gold medal have broken the Champion throne's situation since 1995 by the China and South Korea monopolized. Regarding the world short track speed skating's multi-polarization is advantageous. In addition, French expert Yves also said:"Katherine won, well." Italian FONTANA Arianna, As this year European Championship's champion, this season main attack 500m and 1000m. This time she was able to enter in 1500m final and obtained the fourth. Also announced from a side Italy women short track speed skating is the beginning of the re-emergence and recovery. I believe the Italian team on other events will make a difference.
About the men 1500m, NOH Jinkyu is indeed the best performing in the South Korean rookies this year. Can see Ahn Hyun-Soo and Lee Jung-Su's a little shadow from his body. Lee Jung-Su is good at final laps accelerate continuously, This time NOH Jinkyu's performance also manifested this aspect. About UM Cheon-Ho, His status is really not considered this year. Speaking of LEE Ho-Suk, "Lian Po has been old, How about his appetite?" This year's World Championships 1500m, Charles Hamelin got second place, I was very pleased. he will is the all-round champion before I bet, but today Charles's performance is very advantageous for all-round race. After all, Charles's 500m strength is without any doubt. As the two World Championship, the Winter Olympic Games' defending champion, the Olympic record holder, Charles is much stronger than NOH Jinkyu in 500m. Charles's experience I believe will play certain role, after all, Men 1000m world record is his. The performance of Chinese athletes, Liu Xianwei didn’t good in the control situation aspect, the tactical execution was not very decisive. Song Weilong was good about today races, Hope Song Weilong may greater succeed in 1000m. Because Liang Wenhao was few participate in 1500m, today out of the semi-final, may understood. US team's SIMON Jeff, today race got medal, here must congratulate to Pangpang Tang of long-term supports SIMON Jeff. However I regarding his prospect in 500m and 1000m, to tell the truth, really are not very optimistic, After all, 500m have big/little Hamelin, Liang Wenhao, FAUCONNET Thibaut, Simon CHO, JEAN Olivier et al. They're not "vegetarian"! About 1000m, the master are more, It is a very inevitable strategic position. Regarding CHO Simon, I do not want to make any explanation.
Ladies Relay, The Chinese team appeared with the German station competition similar question, Sprint time is sneak attacked by the South Korean, but fortunately the Chinese team is in the third track. This is still have the opportunity, can take advantage of Canada running start to delay South Korea, then look for opportunities. But South Korea, I believed their running start that not only can‘t catch up China and Canada, but also they are not necessarily can catch up the Netherlands. This time the U.S. team did not enter the final, Let's everyone be really surprised.
As for the France players to play, anticipated very much originally, but the results I do not want to say too much. France can attain the all men events This time, In fact reflected the strength of France is no doubt. About 1500m performance was below standard, I thought that they may forget it, After all France still have good opportunity in 500m and 1000m.
By the way the Japan, Because Japan happened a major earthquake yesterday, I believe that the Japan athletes’ mood certain are very terrible. The performance of the first day, May also say is below standard, SAKURAI Biba originally should advance to speed up in the Heats, but didn't implementation. Finally, wanted to speed up, it was too late. Anyway, Still hope they can turn grief into strength now.
The second day of competition, must continue to pay attention!
