the team has to finish together, or as close together as they can...if hendrick had been a team player, he would have done what he should have done, let his teamates draft, or help his teamates draft...""

Go back and replay the event- The last place USA skater was out of gas and losing ground every milisecond. No one could have given him any last second speed. It was the LAST LAP of a very swift event.

the race shouldn't have been * played * in the last lap...Teammates know when a fellow mate is lagging, and should readjust...

Canadians, in the QF's didn't put their best on the ice, they wanted to keep their best skaters rested...and Canadians won the Silver Medal today, behind the Italians...and i, for one, am proud.
