Shelley Osterloh ReportingThe women's Super G and Freestyle Aerials were postponed. Meanwhile, Utah women speedskaters had high hopes for tonight's 1000 meter event, but came away disappointed.
In 2002 Chris Witty won the gold in the 1000 meter race and Jen Rodriguez took bronze, but neither could manage to make it to the podium this time around. Rodriguez had the best American finish at 10th.
Jen Rodriguez, US Speedskater: "Yesterday was a really good day and it's just typical of how it's been this year, have one good day and one bad day, real roller-coastery. And it just wasn't there today."
Chris Witty, US Speedskater: "It wasn't the best race of my life. I put everything I had out there. That's all you can do on a day like this, just give it your all and know that you did your best. I'm obviously not in the shape that I like, but I did what I could."
And as snow pounded down in the mountains, Todd Hays and Pavle Jovanovic fought to end the 54 year US medal drought in the two man bobsled, but couldn't do it. They finished seventh, nearly one second from the podium. And Utahns Steven Holcomb and Bill Schuffenhauer finished in 14th place. They have another shot at a medal on Friday in the four man bobsled
Tomorrow is a busy day for Utah Athletes. Two Park City skiers compete in the Giant Slalom: Erik Schlopy and Ted Ligety, who won gold in the Combined last week. And Two Utahns compete in the women's bobsled tomorrow: Shauna Rohbock and Jean Racine Prahm.
