Road Rash is Not an Allergic Reaction to Inline Skating
2008 Gijon Worlds- My Fall In The First Corner Of My First Race The 300-meter heats took place earlier today. I heard that USA’s Brittany Bowe set a world record in the senior women’s race. In the senior men’s 300, to finish top-20, skaters had to skate under 26-seconds. My Fall In The First Corner Of My First Race: We skated the senior men’s 10km points heats. Top-20 of each heat qualified to the final. I crashed out in the first corner when a cone was kicked onto the track and got caught in my skate. It felt like a spectacular crash with 100’s of skaters falling and flying over the boards, but in fact only one other skater fell. The best part was getting a knee to the face as I was spun around kind of upside down. It’s a bummer to watch the finals from the stands. Canadians: Jade Pauley made it out of his heat in the junior men’s long race. He was on the bubble, but just managed to squeak in with 20th. I’m going back to the track now to watch the finals- I had just enough time when the afternoon program wrapped up to come back to the hotel, drop off my suitcase that Yamo and Ewen (French friends) brought from Nantes, send a couple of e-mails, and eat. The senior 10km points, junior 15km points/ elimination, and 300-meter finals are all taking place tonight. Again, make sure you use the following links for all the news beyond the little that I am sharing; scan them carefully because I’ll be adding more as more come to light-       
2008 Gijon Spain- 300-meter sprints: Let The Records Fall, Distance Races: Falls & Carnage!2008-09-05 01:24 peterdoucet Distance Races: Germany’s Mareike Thum, Belgium’s Bart Swings, Korea’s Hye Sook Woo, and France’s Yann Guyader won gold medals in races. The long races were marked by multiple falls and carnage, with some selections having both their skaters taken out by falls in the same race (New Zealand, Chile, Netherlands). The first aid staff was very busy treating skaters in the middle of the track. 300-meter Sprints: Colombia’s junior skater Pedro Causil stole the show in the evening program and set the 300-meter world record with a 24.53! Australia’s Daniel Craig opened with a 9.5 second for the first 100-meter, a second 100 at 7.9, but then fell in the middle of the final corner. In the senior women’s final, USA’s sprinting duo of Sara Sayasane and Brittany Bowe respectively set and reset the world record for a red, white, and blue 1-2 finish. After the race during the men’s warm-up, Bruce Springstein’s ‘Born In The USA’ was blaring in the stadium. Senior men; the crowd went completely silent when USA’s Joey Mantia, Italy’s Gregory Duggento, New Zealands Kalon Dobbin, took to the start line. Korea’s Kyung Tae Kang had to tighten his skate right before the start while the officials watch him- ohhh the suspense!! In the end, Kalon Dobbin skated away with the gold medal and Kang with the silver. Here are a few pictures of the day-
