  4. On thin ice

    Before they began practice one recent morning in Salt Lake City, Olympic bronze medalist Lana Gehring of Glenview and four other elite speedskaters had to assemble protective pads around the walls of a municipal rink. Working in tandem, the skaters shuttled some 50 pieces of equipment — each resembling an oversized mattress and weighing about 90 pounds — from a storage area onto the ice. Then they slid the pads across the ice and against the walls, like puzzle pieces snapping into place.

  5. The players in short-track's drama

    Team USA has earned more Olympic medals in speedskating than in any other winter sport. But that dominance, from both the short- and long-track disciplines, is threatened by financial mismanagement and political infighting by those who have the most invested in the sport's well-being in this country — the US Speedskating governing body. Who is most responsible for speedskating's success and its potential decline?

  10. Biological Impact of Thought on Performance

    When speedskater J.R. Celski won his first Olympic medal with a bronze in the men's 1,500-meter short track at the Vancouver Olympics, I found his success remarkable. It answered important questions I had about Celski's recovery from the bad injury he had suffered in competition just five months ago, when a deep cut in his leg required 60 stitches. Not his physical recovery - we were sure he was good there. But we weren't sure about his confidence level - his mental recovery - before the race. I know that can make a difference in the physical ability of any athlete.
