Speedskater slips past another Olympic medal
By Alan Robinson
The Associated Press
HAMAR, Norway Dan Jansen was almost home.
Sailing down the backstretch in the 500-meter speedskating sprint, his strides were strong, fluid and fast.
But as he rounded the third turn, Jansen's left blade caught an edge, ice shavings flew up, and he nearly went down. To keep from falling, he touched his left hand to the ice, but the time lost was a medal lost.
Oh, no. Not again.
He now has skated in four straight Olympics, finishing without a medal each time. At Sarajevo, as an 18-year-old not expected to medal, Jansen finished fourth. Then came the heartbreak of Calgary. Then the disappointment of Albertville.
"Sometimes," the 28-year-old Jansen said, "I think maybe it's never meant to be."
This time, though, he was supposed to be a lock.
Instead, Jansen slipped to eighth — his worst placing in any 500 Olympic race he's finished. Instead, Aleksandr Golubev and Sergel Klevchena completed a history-making 1-2 sweep for Russia, and Manubu Horii of Japan won the bronze.
Golubve, only 14th in the world sprint championships in Calgary two-and-a-half weeks ago, won in an Olympic-record 36.33 seconds — more than a half-second off Jansen's world record of 35.76.
"I'm sure I would have won by quite a bit if I didn't slip. I tried to get out of it and get back as soon as possible." Jansen said. "But I lost momentum."
"The rest of his life, he's going to wonder what happens in an Olympics," five-time Olympic champion Eric Heiden said. "He looked good at the start, he was right on the mark, but then he got tight again."
As soon as he skidded, Jansen's wife, Robin, turned away. Seated midway down the stretch among nearly two dozen family members and friends, she reached up and hugged
Jansen's older brother, Jim. She never saw the end of the race.
Great as yesterday's disappointment might have been, it hardly compared to the sorrow Jansen felt six years ago at the Calgary Games, when his sister, Jane Beres, died of leukemia on the morning of his 500-meter race.
When it came time to skate, he fell Four days later, he fell again, in the 1,000-meter race. At Albertville two years ago, he skated tentatively through the third turn when a sprint to the finish might have won the race; He stayed on his skates, but finished fourth.
This time it didn't appear that anything could stop Jansen. He came to Lillehammer owning the four fastest times in the world at 500 meters and was the only man ever to have gone the distance in under 36 seconds.
"I don't know what it is about the Olympics — maybe there's too much emphasis about these few races," said Gerry Jansen, Dan's mother.
Luge crash ends American's hopes
By John Kekis
The Associated Press
LILLEHAMMER, Norway — Duncan Kennedy was on the run of his life, careening through the labyrinth of the 16-turn Hunderefossen course. The sound of his steel runners reverberated through the frigid morning air as he approached the final stretch.
Suddenly, in a flash of steel and ice, Kennedy's sled bounced off both walls, and the ride was over on Turn 13. So were America's hopes for its first huge medal.
"Ithought, 'Oh no. No!' I knew it was over." he said.
tightly and managed to glide to a stop, but his Olympic hopes were in tatters, like his new blue racing suit.
"I'm still in shock," Kennedy said. A bronze medal seemed to be within Kennedy's reach after Armin Zoggeler of Italy, who was third Sunday, brushed the wall at the start of his first run, losing valuable time.
Kennedy, who was in fourth place after Sunday's first two runs, lost control of his sled on his third run yesterday as it neared the bottom of the course at an 80 mph clip. He held on
"I carried too much pressure into 13," Kennedy said after he limped off the track. "It caught up with me on the straightaway.
"I was going for the track record. I knew the track was fast, and I knew it was going to be tough to beat Hackl and Prock. That's the way it goes."
World champion Wendel Suckow's fifth-place finish was the best U.S. showing since Kennedy's 10th-place finish at the 1992 Games in Albertville, France.
Kennedy was confident and composed after Sunday's runs, his best performance in three Olympics.
Germany's Georg Hackl and Austria's Markus Prock shattered the track record in their duel for the top spot. Hackl emerged with the gold, Prock the silver.
"My attitude going into the race was to attack, and I did that," said Kennedy, the U.S. team leader from Lake Placid, N.Y. "It's really hard to say what happened. Maybe I tensed up a little bit."
Runner-up to Prock on the World Cup tour this year, Kennedy became something of a hero when he was beaten up by racist thugs last fall in Oberhof, Germany, while trying to protect his black teammate, Robert Pipkins.
