Celski's recovery nothing short of miraculous: Whenever anybody asks J.R. Celski what caused him to miss the last five months of competition, all the U.S. short track speed skater has to do is take out his iPhone. more »
Canada's Jean 4th in short-track final: Lee Jung-Su of South Korea won gold in the Olympic men's 1,500-metre short-track speedskating event Saturday night in Vancouver, with American Apolo Ohno grabbing his sixth career Olympic medal. more »
All is not lost for short-track speed skaters: It was at the 2006 Olympics in Turin when Charles Hamelin helped Canada's short-track speedskating relay team win silver. more »

Gregg: One little mistake can make all the difference: I am going to Vancouver for a competition, something that is hard to remember at times, with all the distractions, but the bottom line is that my team is going there to race and bring back some hardware. more »
Short-track's 1st family hopes to capitalize: Yves Hamelin is well aware of what it at stake. These Olympic Games will not just be about representing Canada on home soil.

Gregg: Donning our new Olympic suits: The last four weeks of training in Montreal were good, and the team is ready to go.

Almost anywhere would have been better than where Steven Bradbury was, standing in plain view, getting bombarded by boos from a pro-American crowd at the Salt Lake Ice Centre. more »
Gregg: My brother just made the Olympics too: I am very happy to report that after a long and nerve-racking competition, my oldest brother, Jamie, will be joining me at the Olympics in Vancouver!
