Ohno claims the only reason he was disqualified was so that canada could get two medals for the race.

This last one, Ohno seemed to knock out the other 2 with his skates, then lurched forward, off balance, and pushed the Canadian. Accidental but deserves a DQ.

The rules of Short Track are strict and DQs happen a lot.

Kim did crosstrack a little but I don't know if it was enough to get a DQ.

If Kim had kept more tightly on the inside, then he would have forced Ohno to go outside of him. As it was, he left just enough space for Ohno to try to pass, then right as soon as Ohno did, he moved a little to the inside, blocking him.

Did anyone see the Korean skater in the mens 5000m give the V's at his medal presentation?
I know he's only a young lad but it looked either offensive or pathetic and I wonder what statement he was trying to say..
