Medal contender falls in women's 500m. Same girl falls in two different heats in the mixed relay in which we were also medal contenders, and another girl fell again in the consolation race. Then one of our men commits a penalty in the 1000m and is disqualified, though he wasn't much of a favorite going in.

Outside of one other girl that actually locked in and performed, it was a complete meltdown on the short track today.

Short track is dumb as hell, just a bunch of wipeouts. It’s all luck.

I get the wrecks on pass attempts and close racing, but every single fall was completely unforced with no jockeying for position at all. That's what made it so bad. The chick literally couldn't stay upright.

It's like pack racing at Daytona. Who will survive The Big One.

I love it. Watching Apolo Ohno race in 2002, 2006, and 2010 are my favorite winter olympic memories.

Didn't realize we had a potential legend in speed skating this Olympics.

The clusterfrick on the short track continues. No medals despite having two favorites.

I can't help but short track is just sheer dumb luck if you don't fall or someone doesn't fall in front of you.

It helps if you don't kick the blocks too
