Meng Wang (boy, talk about rhyming) skated to Gold in the Women’s 500m Short Track event (44.345 seconds).
Wang’s victory brings home China’s first Gold Medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics. Wang, winner of 4 World Cups races this year, was favored to win the event right from the get go.

Evgenia Radanova (44.374 seconds) of Bulgaria and Anouk LeBlanc-Boucher (44.759 seconds) of Canada won the Silver and Bronze respectively.
On a lighter note, Wang’s skates got tangled, sending her sprawling onto the ice while she was on her victory lap (good thing it didn’t happen WHILE SHE WAS RACING).
