This guys one a bronze medal in the short track event when it looked like Korea was about to sweep knock them selves out to only take bronze... Amazing race yet I posted this because a truely amazing story This guy 6 months before the olympics on a world race almost bled out on the ice durring an accident and now he went on to win a bronze medal pretty amazing http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympi...kating/athletes/j.r.-celski_ath1023769ns.html
 
I was just watching that. What struck me is that I'm surprised people don't have fingers severed in this sport constantly. When thy put their hand on the ice in the turns, the other competitor's skates are inches from their fingers.
