Before we get to the fun, how's the new layout look, eh?
Norway got shut out on the day, which allowed... some of the pack tied for second to move up. But not all, as you'll see here in the Top Five:
| COUNTRY | G | S | B | TOTAL |
| Canada | 3 | 3 | 1 | 7 |
| Netherlands | 3 | 2 | 2 | 7 |
| Norway | 2 | 1 | 4 | 7 |
| Russia | 1 | 2 | 3 | 6 |
| United States | 2 | 0 | 3 | 5 |

| GOLD | Maria Hoefl-Resch | Germany | 2:34.62 |
| SILVER | Nicole Hosp | Austria | 2:35.02 |

Mancuso held a sizeable lead after the downhill, but ran over two seconds behind Hoefl-Resch in the slalom and had to settle for third place. Americans Laurenne Ross and Stacey Cook did not finish the downhill run. Leanne Smith did, finishing 20th, but failed to finish the slalom.

American Patrick Deneen had to go through both qualifying rounds to reach the final, but he got there. Bradley Wilson advanced from the first qualification. Things went differently in the final rounds. Wilson did horribly on both turns and his air, failing to qualify for the semifinal. Dineen advanced, in ninth place, then squeaked into the medal run by .01 points; he finished sixth.
Ice Hockey:
| WOMEN'S GROUP A | ||
| USA | 9-0 | Switzerland |
| Canada | 3-0 | Finland |
Team USA basically just ambushed the Swiss, scoring three goals in the space of 55 seconds midway throught he first period -- two of them just eight seconds apart -- and just cruising from that point. Canada, on the other hand, struggled with Finland for two and a half periods before breaking through on a power play and then opening up the lead. Both Canada and the USA are now through to the semifinals; their game Thursday just determines seeding.
Luge:
| WOMEN'S SINGLES (after 2 runs) | |||
| 1 | Natalie Geisenberger | Germany | 1:39.814 |
| 2 | Tatiana Heufner | Germany | 1:40.580 |
| 3 | Erin Hamlin | USA | 1:40.632 |
No American luger, male or female, has ever medaled in singles. Erin Hamlin is halfway there. Erin Hansen's in 10th, and Summer Britcher's 15th.
Nordic Combined:
Begins Wednesday.
Short Track:
| MEN'S 1500m | |||
| GOLD | Charles Hamelin | Canada | 2:14.985 |
| SILVER | Tianyu Han | China | 2:15.055 |
| BRONZE | Viktor An | Russia | 2:15.062 |
J.R. Celski of the USA finished fourth, more than half a second off the pace. Celski and Eduardo Alvarez advanced to the semis from the qualification heats, but Chris Creveling didn't -- despite a time a full second faster than Alvarez, due to Creveling finishing third in a much faster heat. Alvarez was disqualified during the semifinals for the usual short track reasons.
In the qualification heats for the Ladies' 500m, Emily Scott advanced for the Americans. Jessica Smith didn't, and Alyson Dudek was disqualified. The semifinals of the Ladies' 3000m Relay were also today, but Team USA failed to even qualify for the Olympics. Korea, Canada, China, and Italy qualified for the final.
Skeleton:
Begins Thursday.
Ski Jumping:
Off day; returns tomorrow.
Snowboard:
Off day; returns tomorrow.
Speed Skating:
| MEN'S 500m | |||
| (combined time, two runs) | |||
| GOLD | Michel Mulder | Netherlands | 69.31 |
| SILVER | Jan Smeekens | Netherlands | 69.32 |
| BRONZE | Ronald Mulder | Netherlands | 69.46 |
The Mulder twins were sitting 1-2 going into the final pair, and then it looked like Smeekens had taken the gold. A post-race correction, however, gave Michel Mulder the 1/100 of a second win. Brian Hansen was 33rd after the first run, but withdrew prior to the second due to a muscle strain. The other Americans finished, but had a horrible outing. Shani Davis finished 24th, Tucker Fredricks 26th, and Mitchell Whitmore 27th.
