Last night I stayed up past midnight(I know, quite a shock)to watch the final Speed skating event, the 5,000 meter race, in which Martina Sáblíková would once again compete. This picture made the front page of the Mornings Paper, Lidové Noviny.
and She won the Gold, her 2nd Gold Medal this Olympic in this event
I know that the US has won 7 Gold Medals in this Olympics so far, and it is a great feat, but Here in the Czech Republic, this has set all records and has placed her in "legend" status. It was quite exciting to see her win by outpacing her fellow competitors. She was clearly exhausted after finishing as she walked around the rink with the Czech flag draped around her shoulders.
