Johnny Spillane took the lead with about 1km left, but Jason Lamy-Chappius, who had stayed in the pack the entire way, sprinted past Spillane in the final meters to capture the gold. Alessandro Pittin of Italy held off Todd Lodwick for the bronze.
What an exciting finish! I'm still trying to catch my breath, I was up off the couch jumping up and down the last minute of the race. Bill DeMong made a massive charge to finish 6th. As usual, the three Americans are all in the top 10. Brett Camerota finished back in the pack. The big question for next Tuesday's team event is will Camerota be able to keep the Americans in the race and give the other three a chance to win team gold?
Time for me to relax and get ready for some pairs, women's speed skating and men's moguls tonight.
