In case anyone cares   There's a handful of decent names competing, but it's nothing big.

It's kind of sad that USA can't really find male distance racers even for this kind of an event.

We have Mantia, but he just isn’t interested in anything besides the 1500m and Mass Start.

Yeah, only seven Americans have ever gone under 6:20; besides of course Shani Davis and über-American Chad Hedrick those were Derek Parra in 2002, Emery Lehman, Brian Hansen en Trevor Marsicano in the past 11 years and Jonathan Kuck of all places who joins Hedrick as only one to ever go under 6:10 when he had his weird super season for one month or something.

 

Too bad KC Boutiette never made it past his 6:22 in the SLC Olympics.

 

The 10k is a little sadder, with only four guys ever going under 13:20 (Hedrick, Davis, Hansen and Kuck).

You are forgetting Heiden and other guys from the pre-magic era.

Btw, how often do you get to see something live from Wisconsin?

I'm fairly sure there was a World Cup or something there once? It very much sounds like I've seen something from Milwaukee before

Back in Wisonsin.

Strong time yesterday by  Kim Jun-Ho in the men's 500m (34,59).

 

Too bad most of the top skaters are missing, especially the best Americans despite this tournament being held there.
