What an amazing 1500meter race! Congrats to Apolo & JR for their silver & bronze medals!

Here is an article in the Seattle Times that sums up what appeals to people new to Short Track Speedskating:

“Don’t we already have enough poker and MMA, bull riding, bowling and talking heads on the cable sports networks? Couldn’t we use something new? Imagine a tour stop in Key Arena. You don’t think they would sell that out? The Rose Garden? The Comcast Center? The crowd at Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum, the former home of the Vancouver Canucks, was loud and involved on Saturday night. Are you telling me they wouldn’t support a yearly event?”
