So far two Americans are qualified from the short-track speedskating 1,500 heats. J.R. Celski and Eduardo Alvarez. Chris Creveling still yet to go.

Chris Creveling did not advance out of his 1,500 heat, finishing just a bit off the pace in fourth.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/10/2014 10:15:34 AM
The men's short-track 1,500 semifinals will begin shortly after 6 a.m.

And just like that another goal for USA, this one from Amanda Kessel -- who tapped in a rebound in front of the net. 2-0 9:53 in the 1st period.

by Ross Maghielse 2/10/2014 10:20:14 AM
And another goal for USA... Kessel again, literally seconds after previous score. 3-0 and counting.

Oh boy, this women's hockey game is going to get ugly. USA now leads Switzerland 4-0 with 5 minutes left in 1st period. This game is begging for a Switzerland-defense-swiss cheese joke.

by Ross Maghielse 2/10/2014 10:26:24 AM
If you're awake, Team USA up 4-0 on Switzerland. 5 minutes left in first period. Goals by Amanda Kessel, Monique Lamoureux, Hilary Knight

Back at speedskating, women's short-track heats are about to start in the 500-meter.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/10/2014 10:28:40 AM
First period hat trick for Amanda Kessel -- 5-0 USA

Those are the fastest three goals scored by a U.S. women's olympic team (55 seconds), previous fastest was 98 seconds #TeamUSA #Sochi2014

Over at women's short-track 500-meter heats, three Americans are looking to advance. Emily Scott, Alyson Dudek and Jessica Smith. Scott is coming up shortly.

Emily Scott qualifies from her heat, finishing 2nd.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/10/2014 10:41:06 AM
In women's curling, USA leads Switzerland 1-0. Probably won't outscore the women's hockey team, though.

American Alyson Dudek coming up in the next short-track heat. Looking to join Emily Scott in the semifinals.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/10/2014 10:47:22 AM
Short-trackers Emily Scott advance to semis of 500 on Wednesday, but Aly Dudek doesn’t make it and Jessica Smith just crashed.

by Michael C. Lewis via twitter 2/10/2014 10:48:04 AM
The Russian fans at the curling venue are in pretty good form. They also have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on.

by cathalkelly via twitter 2/10/2014 10:48:13 AM
Clear that Jessica Smith’s skate caught blade of Russian skater behind her. As they say, “that’s short-track.” #Sochi2014

Notice they’ve wrapped up all computer security cables in venue media rooms. Maybe because they don’t work? Good thing I brought my own.

Let's jump over to the Men's Moguls first qualification for freestyle skiing - Italy's Giacomo Matiz started with a score of 20.61. France's Anthony Benna had a sloppy landing, but scored at 18.46 and Finland's Arttu Kiramo hit a score of 9.09. There will be two qualifications for everyone, unless you hit the top 10 in the first round.
