Short-track speedskating
Pacific Coliseum (Vancouver)
FEB. 14-26

Best of the U.S.: Apolo Anton Ohno wants to add more gold to his �Dancing With the Stars� title. He won the 1,500 (2002) and 500 (2006) as well as three other medals and looks solid again. J.R. Celski, back from a horrifying September accident when his leg was slashed by his own blade, looked like a contender before the mishap. Katherine Reutter could become the first U.S. individual women�s medalist since 1994.
Best of the rest: China�s Wang Meng, who won medals of each color in 2006, wants to add one in the lone event where she was shut out: the relay. With Korean An Hyeon-Su�s career derailed by a knee injury two years after his three-gold, one-bronze effort in Turin, Korean Lee Jung-Su is favored to win three medals. Canada�s Hamelin brothers, Charles and Francois, and Francois-Louis Tremblay continue a strong Quebecois short-track tradition.
