Men's 1000 meter speed skating


Speed skating two days in a row. So you thought I saw all the orange I could yesterday? Wrong! Today I saw a man in an orange suit, someone who used an orange pylon as a hat and finally an orange hard hat with an ice skate attached to the top. The Dutch take orange to a whole new level! But the event was mostly USA. Shani Davis of the US won the gold, Korea took the silver and USA took the bronze. I hear the coverage in the US leaves a lot to be desired. Here in Canada there are two different stations carrying Olympic events. Olympic coverage runs 24 hours. We sat in the bar at the hotel tonight and every other TV was either tuned to one of the hockey games or the Ladies downhill.

  1. Susan - the coverage here leaves a LOT to be desired. We get an ENTIRE day of cross country, and then they condense everything else that happens during the day into 3 hrs. at night, from 8-11...and they're doing this on the WEEKENDS, too - saving the best until night. Glad you're having the time of your life!

  2. When will you post some curling pictures!!

    Your trip sounds great. We look for you all the time but I think you need to apply some body paint before they will put you on TV.
