In other figure skating news, Rena Inoue and John Baldwin landed the first ever throw triple Axel in international competition. Like Kwan, this is Inoue's third Olympic Games (she competed for Japan in 1992 and 1994) and recently became a US Citizen last fall. This single trick probably won't bring them any medals (they are currently standing sixth and most bets for gold are on the Russian pair), but it's pretty cool anyway.
What's up with Apolo Ohno? Well, the 1500m men's short track is on today and it's time to see if the controversy between him and the South Korean team get cleared up as he faces off against current world champion Ahn Hyun-Soo.
What is it with Asians and the ice anyway?
