Winter Olympics - American Medals Day 11

Speed Skating (Men's 1500m):
Silver - Shani Davis
Bronze - Chad Hedrick

Bobsled (Women's):
Silver - USA-1 (Shauna Rohbock and Valerie Fleming)

This brings the USA to 18 medals (7, 7, 4) in the Turin/Torino games so far.

Bobsleds weigh 600 pounds.
The Team USA Curl Girls will not be in the semifinals while the men's team will be.
The figure skating results are promising for the Americans as Sasha Cohen leads after the ladies' short program with 66.73. Kimmie Meissner is 5th with 59.40 and Emily Hughes is 7th with 57.08. The free skate is Thursday and the medal is awarded then.
The men's hockey team lost to Russia and will face Finland.

How did it feel for Kimmie? "It's unbelievable!"

And for Emily?: " went out for my warmup and they were cheering my name. That's the first time that's ever happened. After the double axel, it was a great feeling to know I landed all the jumps and I could just focus on the spins and footwork. The program went really well."
