The opening night for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver started out great with men's speed skating. All of America was rooting for veteran Apolo Anton Ohno and now bronze medalist, J.R. Celski. At the final lap of the race, it looked like Korea was going to take home all three medals when two of the three Koreans crashed into eachother on the last turn of the race, bumping up Ohno in second and Celski in third.
This was Celski's first competition and medal in the Olympic games. "I can't explained what happened. It was just a blur to me," said Celski. "Its very cool. It will go down in history- at least in my book."
The Winter Olympics will continue until Sunday, February 28th.
