Ohno's bronze medal breaks tie with Blair

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - More medals - but no gold - for Shani Davis, Lindsey Vonn and Apolo Anton Ohno.

One couldn't "man up," one "backed off the gas pedal" and one had to "crank it up" to make history.

Ohno's bronze in the 1,000-meter short-track final broke a tie with Bonnie Blair as the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian. Ohno has seven career medals, including a silver in the 1,500 from earlier in these games. His medals are the most of any short-track skater.

Lee Jung-su of South Korea won the gold medal, and teammate Lee Ho-suk earned the silver.

Ohno appeared relieved as he crossed the finish line, having skated near the back of the pack early in the nine-lap race. Ohno briefly moved up to second, then dropped to last with three laps to go, forcing his rally near the end.

"When I moved up into second place, in my head I thought that the race was mine and I felt great," he said. "Then I slipped and lost all my speed again. I saw everybody flying by me and I'm like, 'Oh boy, there's not a lot of time. I'm going to have to kind of crank it up."'

Davis won silver in 1,500-meter speedskating for the second straight Olympics to go with the two consecutive golds he's earned in the 1,000.

His expected duel with fellow American Chad Hedrick - an unexpected bronze medalist in the 1,000 - never materialized. Hedrick faded on his last lap and was sixth in a race won by Mark Tuitert of the Netherlands.
