Photos from Worlds - day 2
Still working my way through the backlog of World Championship and Torino photos. The latest gallery is from the 500m events skated on the 2nd day of competition in Minneapolis.
I always laugh when I look at sthe sequence of shots from the comical start to the 500m heat featuring Rusty Smith, Eric Bedard, Polish skater Jakub Jaworski and Germany's Sebastian Praus - here's one of them:

Lots more photos including Teams USA and Canada in the gallery!

Photos from Worlds Day 1
More photos from Worlds... Somehow I didn't get any relay photos at all the first 2 days, so these are all of the 1500m events and some candids as well. Full gallery here
Men's 1500m final: Se-jong Oh, Rusty Smith, Nicola Rodigari, Hyun-soo Ahn

Kimberly Derrick skates in her 1500m heat

Charles Hamelin leads in his 1500m semi

Absent Apolo, I just concentrated on USA and Canada. Not really a departure from the usual!

Worlds photo gallery
Professional photographer Caroline Yang was shooting the Worlds for USS and she sent me a link to her stunning photo gallery from the event.
Hopefully more of her work from that weekend will surface before long because these shots are incredibly gorgeous!

New Apolo photo gallery
The USOC has a new photo gallery of Apolo up with photos taken from the shoot he did at the media summit in October. Check it out here.
You can see additional photos like these from the media summit if you go to Gettyimages.com and Corbis.com and search on "Apolo Ohno." I really love this one!
