Long-track winner adds short-track bronze

In her last race at the short track, Jorien ter Mors clinched a historic double. The Dutchwoman became the first skater to win a medal on both the long-track oval and the short track arena in the same Olympics.

Ter Mors had already won the 1,000 meters on the Olympic Oval last week and came back to lead the women's 3,000-meter relay team to take bronze Tuesday.

Ter Mors' bronze came under the craziest of circumstances. With the Dutch team relegated to the B final of the relay, there were four other teams in the A final to share out the medals.

In the B final, ter Mors raced the last short-track race of her career with such abandon that she helped the Dutch team set a world record. Still, it was all supposed to be for naught.

Yet in the A final, both China and Canada were disqualified for impeding, stunningly pushing up the Dutch to bronze.

"It's really amazing to get a bronze medal and skating a world record in the B finals," ter Mors said.

The last man to win medals in different sports at one Winter Games was Heikki Hasu of Finland. He did it in cross-country skiing and Nordic combined.

Ter Mors won't do it again. As of next season, she will exclusively center on long-track racing, which is much bigger in the Netherlands than short-track. Homan, said she is disappointed in the loss but said the British team simply played better. followed by the remaining athletes in their order of finish.
