2009 World Games -- 1000m Quater Finals

Alrighty... its about 6:30am there in Taiwan and the racing will begin at 9:00am. First up will be the Ladies 1000m Quarter Finals. 4 Full heats are lined up with Sara being in the 3rd heat and Wouter also getting into  heat 3.

Ill post the results when I get them and post some comments supporting our skaters if you guys read this! Its always good to hear from "home"

Stay Tuned! 2 1/2 hours to go till race time!

UPDATE -- Looks like there was only one heat that ran for the ladies before there was a call for a rain delay? Hmmm I thought they still skated in the rain... unless of course its that Typhoon that Wouter made mention of.

Ill Update again if i hear more.

UPDATE -- Ok it appears that the races are back on...

Random Stuff...

Ok while waiting for more news to come out of Taiwan I trolled around looking to see if anyone had uploaded any video for some of the racing yesterday. While not seeing any Ill post whatever video I find that relevant to our little slice of the world.

This video seems to be an interview although I dont know who it is you can see the track and its facilities.

2009 World Games -- Mens 300M TT Final

Here are the Mens results... I think his nickname is "Silk" but Wei-Lin from Taipei deserves the title as more than a half second separated him and 2nd place. Wouter brought in 6th place so it will be interesting to here if track conditions played any part in the results or performance of the athletes.

GO SARA SAYASANE!
GO WOUTER HEBBRECHT!!

UPDATE -- Still no results yet which is weird... either Im on crack or something is holding up the event. On the www.timeanddate.com website that I use for time across the world its about 9:45am... Hmmm. Well onto other tidbits. I found out that Sara has her bib number as #1 !! lol Awesome! well maybe.... if her bib number is the starting number then I bet she may have wanted to go a little earlier but then again maybe not! Shes 17th on the list of some sort of listing on the website but I cant tell what that means at all... soooo Im still waiting! :-)

UPDATE -- SHEEESH!! so much for "live" timing from the Pantin Carrera site..

World Games Commercial...

Well I did find some video... actually I watched this a while back and thought "I cant wait for the real deal" looks like that may not pan out but hey... the commercial isnt bad! ;-)

China's Athletes... No show for Opening Ceremonies...

No doubt a snub to Taiwans continued efforts to break away from the mainland China's Athletes were obviously told not to attend the opening ceremonies where the President of Taiwan announced the opening of the games... From what I have read it was a move by China to NOT lend any legitimacy to Taiwans President.

Lame if you ask me that politics has to be introduced into an athletic event of this caliber... but if it happens at the Olympics then why not there?
