Wendy Wagner - great start to the prelim... then she planted her pole on top of her foot and pushed, swung herself sideways... damn Wendy - poles go in the snow.

This guy: fast.  Sprinting - not a lot of room for error.

Kikkan Randall... great speed, very good race... also a learning experience.  It takes practice to nail the heats in World Cup sprinting.

Good things to come!
