The South Koreans pretty much dominated. Typically they'd be towards the end of the pack for most of the race and then just dominate the last two laps and beat everybody. They also had a loud and proud cheering section which you can see to the left of the "M." Complete with drums, flags, and signs. Maren and I found it surreal that we were actually at the 2006 World Short Track Speed Skating Championships. Partly 'cause why would they choose Mariucci Arena? Partly 'cause as you can tell hardly no one was there to watch. That was fine with us, though, because we got great seats!
