Women’s 1500m speed skating
The women’s 1500m had lots of hopefuls until the final, grueling lap. I love having the line that shows you where the best time is in comparison to the skaters. You could really see how most of the competitors started strong, but just ran out of gas in the last lap. Ireen Wust of the Netherlands won gold, showing that her Torino victories were no fluke. Kristina Groves of Canada won silver, much to the delight of the crowd, and Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic is taking home bronze.
