>Perra: what an awesome performance. I'm surprised though that more skaters didn't break the world record as fast as that ice was. I was hoping that no one was going to break Perra's record though.

Well, some others did break other records. Molinsky, from Canada, got the Canadian record which was formally beater a few minutes before by Knoll. But, the most interesting run, I personally find it was the one from UtdeHaage whom was already on the world record pace after the first turn.

>As far as the US is concerned, I think we have a strong running at the women's freestyle and men's hockey. But I think your boys are the favored. Especially with Mario on the ice and The Great One as the coach.

Well, you have a good hockey team and the spirit as well leaded by the Lake Placid team who started it up last night. :)
