USA's Shani Davis to go for the gold in the 1,500 Meter Speed Skating
In one of the more exciting individual Olympic events, speed skating, led by American Shani Davis. Yesterday, Davis failed to medal in the 1,000 meters; he still has another chance to win a gold medal in the 1,500 meters on Saturday. This is an event he's taken a silver medal in the past two Olympic games.
US Women's team loses 3-2 on controversial goal
Yesterday, we saw the US Women's Olympic team lose 3-2 on a controversial goal, to their arch rivals from Canada. In the third period, with the game tied 1-1, team Canada scored the go-ahead goal on a power-play by forward Meghan Agosta-Marciano. Television replay showed that the goal should been waved off. It was very evident from the replay; that the puck had clearly crossed the goal line after the referee had blown the whistle. Simple right? The on-ice officials went to the scorer's table reviewed the play and awarded Canada a goal. It was the difference in the game. Leading the way for team Canada was Hayley Wickenheiser who scored (1g-1a-2pts).
