Lee Jung-Su sets an Olympic Record in the first heat of the semis. No biggie though as Ono finishes 2nd to qualify for the finals.

2 Americans in the final here, so I'd love to see 2 medals.
That would be nice. I'm happy for Celski. Did you see all that blood from his fall in September? Ouch!

Could see Team USA get three medals in the next two medal events: 1500m Short Track speed skating and Women's Freestyle Moguls.

I hope that Celski kid gets some kind of medal.....that was a rather gruesome injury he recovered from. To be honest, he's lucky he's still alive.
Jesus Montero since June 1 (286 at-bats):

I tried not to look.
I swear, I wish that Morgan Freeman could narrate my entire life. I love listening to him.

WOW! Oh No!!! Wins Silver.
And a Bronze for the US!
1st two USA medals...silver for Ohno and bronze for Celski!
Congratulations to them! Happy for Celski...he's adorable and had to come back from a nasty fall and cut (60 stitches!) less than 6 months ago.

He is adorable...but he's never found out why they call him JR!
With two medals in the 1500m Short Track event, Team USA is all alone in second place all-time in the Winter Olympic medal count with 218, passing the old Soviet Union who had 217.

What a finish THAT was!!!! Congrats to Apolo and J.R. (what a cutie he is!).
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer. ~Ted Williams
The faces of Lee Ho-Suk and Sung Si-Bak after their spill were priceless.
In fact, Lee Ho-Suk was DQ.

That call reminded me of Phil Rizuto!

That's some spill by the Japanese skier.
~*~ Bleeding Maize and Blue since 2001 ~*~
Poor Tae Satoya.
The favorite in Ladies Moguls freestyle skiing is Canadian Jennifer Heil. I wonder how much pressure she's under.
American medal hopefuls in this event are Hannah Kearney and Shannon Bahrke.

You could just tell...it looked so wrong in the air.
2009 - World Champion New York Yankees!!
Looking at that hill terrifies me.
238 more runs to score 1000.
2010 GT record: 8-5 (including two near no-hitters)
They make it look so easy but it is so, so, so hard. (POOC)Looking at that hill terrifies me.
2009 - World Champion New York Yankees!!
Sorry...Just before the race they showed his parents in the stands and the commentator said that they're not sure why they started calling him J.R when he was little...and that he has asked but never got an answer.
Not just the hill, how about doing aerial tricks at the same time...Looking at that hill terrifies me.

Ouch! Good for her for getting up after that!

Oh my. Michelle Roark took a spill, but kept going and made another insane trick.
If Roark could've nailed the landing and stay up on her feet, that could've been a dazzling run.

Gotta love moguls. A combination of a race and tricks.

She was coming in ridiculously fast. That's what happens (taking a spill, that is).
This is quickly becoming my favorite event.
Another wicked spill!
Poor Kristi Richards.
Three more competitors left including Canada's Jennifer Heil and Hannah Kearney.

Heather McPhie was on her way to a great score until she fell at the finish.

Dammit, that lady had it and she lost it at the last second. I feel badly for her.
Damn, I thought she would medal with that run until she tripped.
Hopefully the American holds on to win the gold.

Well Bahrke is at least guaranteed a medal.

This moguls stuff is absolutely insane. It looks painful when you're doing it correctly!

Damn. I didn't think that run would beat Bahrke.

No pressure, Hannah.

That run could win the gold right there.

Looks like we're going to have 2 American medals here. I think she gets the gold.
And she does.
