Congratulations to Apolo Anton Ohno for qualifying for the quarterfinals of the 500m short track race. He skated a great race and seems to be in excellent shape for the final on Saturday. This time, he'd better beat the Koreans!
Also on the subject of speed skating, I almost forgot to congratulate Shani Davis and Chad Hedrick for their silver and gold medals, respectively, in the 1500m. After their squabble over Shani's refusal to race in the team pursuit, they seemed to be getting along all right. However, that changed at a press conference after the race, at which Shani criticized Chad for not congratulating him after his victory in the 1000m.

Update: At the medals ceremony for the 1500m, Davis and Hedrick shook hands. The Italian national anthem was played in honor of gold medal winner Enrico Fabris, and the crowd sang along, which was rather amusing.
Also, congratulations to the South Korean women, who won the 3000m short track relay, beating out Canada and Italy.
