We got to see the relay race with AUS at least. The Koreans made a pass up the inside and did not quite get by the US, forced passage and then took out the...
... My son, a ST speed skater, noticed that also. It appeared to be an obvious DQ when the US skater was going into the corner with his hands on his back but...
It was very plain to see that there was contact between the US and Korea. The disqualification of Korea is totally consistent with the way the ISU referees...

With 5 Referees it can be very difficult to pick contact between skaters in every part of the race. The camera angle was taken from a position behind the...
My guess is that they were likely to get called and that the injury and race stoppage forced the referee's hand. Stephen ... ===== "If you got ears, you gotta...
But if you know what to watch for, the referee at the end of the straight should've seen the contact. The pass was very close and probably not the wisest, but...
To be fair though, it is very difficult to tell when a skater's arm or hand touches another skater how much pressure is being applied. Sometimes the slightest...
-Yes, I saw Ohno. We will see him more often in the near future. The camera loves his face. He is so hansome! Don't you agree? C.Simard ... or ... see...

You have a good eye. Ahn really shut Gooch down before Nicky could even get inside of the korean. A real subtle pro move by the World Junior Champ. Kim used...
How much luck can a man have on one day? Try to top Steven Bradbury in the men 1000m: 1st time lucky in the quarterfinal. Marc Gagnon was DQ and Bradbury ...
