Lots of unneeded pressure. I'd change it to Bronze“@schwawa : I find Gracie Gold's skating enjoyable but her last name a bit presumptuous.”

Who yelled at least once during @GraceEGold 's skate? #Woo #Yes !

Chris Creveling did not advance out of his 1,500 heat, finishing just a bit off the pace in fourth.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/10/2014 10:15:34 AM
The men's short-track 1,500 semifinals will begin shortly after 6 a.m.

And just like that another goal for USA, this one from Amanda Kessel -- who tapped in a rebound in front of the net. 2-0 9:53 in the 1st period.

by Ross Maghielse 2/10/2014 10:20:14 AM
And another goal for USA... Kessel again, literally seconds after previous score. 3-0 and counting.

Oh boy, this women's hockey game is going to get ugly. USA now leads Switzerland 4-0 with 5 minutes left in 1st period. This game is begging for a Switzerland-defense-swiss cheese joke.

by Ross Maghielse 2/10/2014 10:26:24 AM
If you're awake, Team USA up 4-0 on Switzerland. 5 minutes left in first period. Goals by Amanda Kessel, Monique Lamoureux, Hilary Knight

Back at speedskating, women's short-track heats are about to start in the 500-meter.

Over at women's short-track 500-meter heats, three Americans are looking to advance. Emily Scott, Alyson Dudek and Jessica Smith. Scott is coming up shortly.

Emily Scott qualifies from her heat, finishing 2nd.

In women's curling, USA leads Switzerland 1-0. Probably won't outscore the women's hockey team, though.
