THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- FEBRUARY 18

Jansen trumps adversity

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