Add in a little more Shani Davis disappointment, and thats about it!

Then, she was able to recover and beat out one of her skiing idols by a full half-second.

Now, were off to the races!

In the quarterfinals alone, we witnessed multiple falls.

So he just earned like 1,000 cool points, right?

And when you consider that he also holds the world record in this race, he only gets cooler.

In the finals, Ahn started out in last.

As the commentators put it after Shiffrins first run, Dads pumped; moms relieved.

However, run two proved to be more challenging for skiers with the soft conditions of the course.

American skier Resi Stiegler fell during her second run, and she wasnt alone.

Marlies Schilds sister Bernadette also went down.

Proof:

According to our commentator, Bernadette suffered from over-skiing.

I hate when that happens, dont you?

If she won, she would be the oldest competitor to take home gold in the event.

And if her admirer Shiffrin won, shed be the youngest.

As she put it in a post race interview, Start grinding out that gold guys, Im coming.

(Also, what is Mr. Toads Wild Ride, and how does that relate to this event?)

Sadly, Jessica Smith took fourth as Koreas Park Seung-Hi skated her way to gold.

Speed Skating Mens Team Pursuit:Oh hey, Shani Davis!Time for a little redemption?

Okay, thats cool.

Teaming up with Brian Hansen and Jonathan Kuck, Davis took the ice for the team pursuit.

Sadly, the trio lost to Canada in the quarterfinals.

Lets just say that synchronicity was not their strong suit.

Although Davis was the only one without goggles on, so at least he looked cool.

Meanwhile, we saw that The Netherlands defeated France (by a big margin), before coverage ended.

Who will win gold is nothing if not a mystery waiting to be solved.

And the number of laps, which I thought would surely bore me, only had me more intrigued.

Who was going to give out?

Surely they had to be tired, right?

But I was wrong!

This was one race that was fought until the final moments.

But with only 15 laps left to go, we passed them!

With only 7 laps to go, Ahn passed us back, and now Russia was in the lead!

In the final laps, it was back to Celski versus Ahn as they anchored their teams.

And finally, Russia came away with the win.

I mean, watch how they push their teammates along:

Fun, right?

Im just a decade or two behind the technological curve.

Were just about finished with primetime tonight.

Hope you all enjoyed it on those newfangled color TVs.

Oh Bob, you kill me.
