U.S. women hit the ice still take bronze medal
The Associated Press
HAMAR, Norway — The U.S. women's 3,000-meter relay team, which thought its medal hopes had been ruined by a wipeout, won the bronze yesterday in short-track speedskating after China was disqualified.
The Americans, silver medalists when the fast-paced sport debuted at the 1992 Games, finished fourth in the final heat after Nicole Ziegelmeyer sprawled to the ice in a turn.
The women's victory gave South Korea a sweep of the first two short-track gold medals yesterday, as Kim Ki-Hoon defended his 1,000-meter men's title.
But the Chinese, who finished second, were disqualified for reasons not immediately specified. That allowed the Americans to slip into the medal ceremony behind gold-medalist South Korea and silver-medalist Canada, which also was foiled by a fall.
South Korea won the race in an Olympic record 4:26.64, breaking the mark of 4:26.94 Canada set in yesterday's semifinals.
The U.S. women almost didn't make it to the Winter Games, after being disqualified when Karen Cashman fell in the world championships. But they got a spot in the Olympic relay two weeks ago when North Korea, Japan
and Australia each decided not to send a team.
In yesterday's race, the United States had moved into medal contention when Canadian Christine-Isabel Boudrias lost control while in the lead with 10 laps remaining.
Kim, who won his country's firstever Winter Olympics gold medal in 1992, took advantage of a fall by Canadian Derrick Campbell to win the 1,000 men's race.
When Campbell slid into the padded wall, Kim slipped past Gooch and led the rest of the way.
Gooch finished second but was disqualified after judges reviewed his bumping with Campbell. Campbell didn't finish, and no bronze medal was awarded. South Korean Chae Ji-Hoon finished third, but was awarded the silver.
Campbell led from the start of the nine-lap race, but he lost his balance fighting for the lead with Britain's Nicholas Gooch in a turn with three laps remaining.
Kim won the race in 1:34.57, well off the world record of 1:28.47.
