Beka Bradford of the US Speed Skating Team takes aim at the finish line just over 40 meters a head as she rounds out the last turn of the 500 meter race. In the stands her fans wearing purple beanies cheered her on.
This past weekend and tomorrow with the following day the US Speed Skating Team are competing against each other at the Olympic Oval in Kearns UT (http://www.olyparks.com/uoo/events_calendar.asp) The team has a few more competitions before the Olympics. There schedule and team info is at USSpeedSkating(dot)org If you're around come on out to the Oval and cheer them all on.
Every time I see the races I watch these fine athletes push themselves beyond their best. Many times I witness new personal best times on the ice.

What a great photo! I came across your blog while I was searching for US Speedskating. I'd like to invite you to add this, and any other speedskating pictures you've taken, to the wall on the speedskating Facebook page. I hope you'll be covering the races today and tomorrow, as well!
