In the women’s team sprint, German snagged the gold, Sweden the silver and Russia the bronze. Germans Claudia Nystad and Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle are veterans and quite a bit older, but that didn’t slow them down today. This was the fourth Oympics for both. Somewhat surprisingly, the American team finished 6th. That’s not bad.
The men’s individual sprint was also today. Russia took the top two positions, with Nikita Kriukov taking the gold and Alexander Panzhinskiy taking silver. Norway’s Petter Northug took bronze. The best American finish was 29th.
