Italians Big Winners at European Short-Track : Fabio Carta won twice as Italian Speedskaters win 3 of 4 races Sunday during the European Short-Track Championship tune-up towards Torino.
Just a short update on my Speedskating Olympic coverage, Carta's time in the 1000 meter is 5+ seconds off the top times posted by the top ranked Short-Track Mens skaters. Here's a list of the top 5 ISU rated Men and Women over-all. Men: 1. Apolo Anton Ohno (USA) 2. Mathieu Torcutte (CAN) 3. Hyun-Soo Ahn (KOR) note N.+S. Kor. sending combined team 4. JiaJun Li (CHN) current 1000m WRH 1:24.674 5. Charles Hamelin (CAN) Women 1. Meng Wang (CHN) 2. Sun-Yu Jin (KOR) 3. Yang Yang (A) (CHN) 4. Eun-Kyung Choi (KOR) 5. Evgenia Radanova (BUL) It's a volatile Sport and J.P. Kepka (USA) should be included with the other top men.
