Shani Davis won silver and Chad Hedrick won bronze in the men's 1,500m speedskating, while Shauna Rohbock & Valerie Fleming won silver in the women's 2-woman bobsled.
Sasha Cohen's awesome performance in the short program put her in the lead by the slimmest of margins over Irina Slutskaya of Russia heading into the free skate Thursday night. Kimmie Meissner is in 5th and Emily Hughes is 7th. In the final group of 6, Sasha skates 2nd, Kimmie's next-to-last, and Irina skates last.
The Men's hockey quarterfinals are set:
Switzerland vs. Sweden Finland vs. USA Russia vs. Canada Slovakia vs. Czech Republic
I didn't really pay too much attention to it. I was more concerned with watching the ladies' short program, plus my NBC station kept going out once an hour. I did get to see Sasha's performance, though.
Well, during the press conference Shani said that he was upset at Chris because he didn't come and shake his hand after Shani's win. Shani said he at least gave Chris a hug when he won. To which Chris said that he didn't want to shake Shani's hand after Shani pulled that stunt with the team event. Chris said he's the US team leader and Shani didn't even bother to come and tell him that he wasn't going to compete in the team event.
Yeah, they need to build a bridge and get over it. Realize that they are supposed to be mature men representing our country and quit their bitch fight.
