They only raced half a 50k. We've still got a full podcast.

This isn't a spoiler, even if it spoiled some of the glory Saturday: Organizers shortened the Olympic men's 50 k skate to a 28 k skate. People were mad; the athletes still raced and delivered a good show. We've got our own show here, featuring guest star Kris Freeman, the retired American Olympian.Alaska's Scott Patterson threw down the best Olympic result for a U.S. man in nearly a half-century, too. We break that down, plus the Russians and Norwegians on the podium, and we'll have one last Olympic podcast after the women's 30 k skate tomorrow.
