THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- FEBRUARY 17-18

Jansen's clutch Gold


" I remember standing on that podium,...and for the first time probably before or since, wishing our national anthem had more verses."

- Dan Jansen

On February 18, 1994, Dan Jansen's Olympic gold medal performance in the 1,000 meter speed skating event ended ten years of Olympic disappointment. His world record time of 1: 12.43 came in his last race. (Lillehammer, Norway)
