      But, if I saw the standings right, he was the fastest American. He entered the 500m just to use it as a warm up to the 1000 and 1500.

      Sucks he didn't medal. Boy those Dutch sure have something going. Even blowing away the Korean speed skaters.

        I think I had heard that before Sochi the Dutch had never had a gold in speed skating...now they're sweeping podiums.

          They had never had a gold in the 500m.

          The Dutch have been one of the best speed skating nations ever, and I believe they have the most medals in the history of the sport. Before Sochi, the USA had the most gold medals though...not sure if that is still true.

            Not so much. From what NBC has said, the Wiki page outlining their history is accurate. The Netherlands have 85 winter medals, 82 of which are from speed skating (the other 3 were early figure skating medals). Their first gold was for figure skating in 1964, but the first gold in speed skating was 1968 in Grenoble- where they had 3 golds. Followed by 4 in Sapparo (72), one in Insbruck (76) and Lake Placid (80).... Their best year was 6 in Nagano ('98), which they could beat this year.

            And the sweeping thing- their first multi-medal in a single event was also in Grenoble- Gold and Silver- Mens 1500, Silver and Bronze Mens 5000 and womens 1500.

            They've historically been the HUGE skating powerhouse.

              Which is confirmed if wiki is true- right NOW, they have 31 to the US's 29, which means they had 27 going into this Olympics.

                  Must be the length of the canals. Up until this year, they've only had a handful of 500m medals overall.

                    US women's goalie might be their downfall. Can't be bobbling glove saves in a major tournament like this.

                      I thought Vetter was solid except for the disputed goal, especially in the third when her mates got the first shot on goal in the 16th minute.

                      BTW, I'm happy with the result but don't think the goal should have counted. Credit to the US players for how they handled the loss. Can't wait for the gold game!

                          badger as a healthy scratch? Sounds about right. Bummer about Faulk, though.

                                USA has some jump. Look pretty fast which to me is a good sign on the big ice.
