This Looks Like a Pretty Fast Crowd

Four U.S. team stars will skate in this event.

World-record holder Shani Davis would seem to have an edge, but he’ll be challenged by Chad Hedrick and Joey Cheek, both of whom have already won gold at these Games, and possibly by Casey FitzRandolph as well.

Also watch for Jan Bos of the Netherlands and Russian Dmitry Dorofeyev, the silver medalist in the 500 meters.
