an unbelieveable race, as many ST races are.  Going around the last turn, the South Koreans were 1,2 and 3, with Ohno 4th.  But then one of the Koreans cut off another, and both when into the boards.  So instead of the Koreans going 1,2 and 3, they won the Gold, with two Americans, Ohno and a 19 year old named Celski, getting the Silver and Bronze.

But I think Ohno should have been awarded the Gold.  Right near the end of the race, he made a move to the front, but one of the Koreans bumped into him and caused him to almost lose his balance and fall.  You could see it CLEARLY in the replay, but the officials chose to ignore it!

Nevertheless, I LOVE SHORT TRACK SKATING!  If the race is close, you never know what will happen!
