Well, he may not be thrilled with the results, but Chad Hedrick will be going home with a full collection of medals— gold, silver, and bronze. In today’s 10000m, he won silver, finishing almost 4 seconds behind Bob De Jong of the Netherlands. De Jong was joined on the podium by countryman Carl Verheijen.

So, the “loudmouthed Texan” lives up to the hype somewhat. I mean, three medals is three medals. It’s not a record, but it’s still pretty good. I wonder if he’ll be back in Vancouver, or if he’s done with speed skating.
