JR MEN 200-M FINAL EVENT

For some reason Chad is skating second when the official paperwork says he was to skate 4th. But he left that line with everything he had and posted a better time than this morning. He is currently in first after three skaters and 9 to go with a time of: 17.48.

Venezuela almost went down trying to hawk.... but now here comes COLOMBIA....... If nothing else, these skaters should win by all of the positive energy in this venue!!! Carlos has left the line he is going fast......... ohhhh no.... another uproar..... the clock did not start.... he must skate again. Colombia is ticked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! f course they don't realize that they happened to Joey Mantia last year and other skaters over the year.

Here come Venezuela ... long, powerful legs and strokes... but NOT powerful enough to beat Chad's time! Venezuela drops into 3rd with a 17.62.

Alright... Italy... all of their sprinters are trained by Duggento... they look like him, they skate like him... can they be a World Champion like he was???? Or will it be a medal but not a gold? Stefano drops in behind Chad.... Chad is still in first. Stefano posted a time of 17.56

His teammate fro Italy is running right now... WOW... Leonard Bonato is now in first with a time of 17.38, and Chad is in 2nd with 17.48. There are still 4 skaters that could change all of this. Two are from Colombia, one from Korea and your leader from Australia.

Korea ties with Italy.... it's broken and Horne moves to fourth. Australia skates... and beats the Colombian by 1/100th of a second. The Colombian is HOT.... he appears to be saying that someone cheated (I think... I have asked one of my Colombian Radio Friends and they say Yes he appears to be angry because he got second).... BUT don't forget we have one more Colombian to come.... the timer did not start for him and they say that they will run him "later". What... TOMORROW??????????????????????? Come on... he should have to run at the end of the event just like as if he were an American or New Zealander or the Chinese Taipei. We are still not sure what is up!!

I will give you official results as soon as they are posted. I am SO lost. Nothing new. L
