  5. Who is Jack Mortell?

    <strong>Editor&rsquo;s note</strong>: <em>In the Sunday Chicago Sports section, a story on Jack Mortell&rsquo;s involvement in Olympic speedskating said that Mortell received portions of medal bonuses from U.S. Olympians in 2002 in an arrangement approved by US Speedskating. The story also said the USOC code of ethics in place at the time barred any member of the U.S. Olympic delegation from accepting gifts of more than a nominal value. Mortell told the Tribune in an email, &ldquo;USS Coaches and Olympic Staff have had medal bonus clauses in their contracts as far back as at least 1988 that I know of.&rdquo; He said he considered the money a bonus that he earned for his contributions to the skaters&rsquo; achievements, not a gift.</em>

  7. On thin ice

    Before they began practice one recent morning in Salt Lake City, Olympic bronze medalist Lana Gehring of Glenview and four other elite speedskaters had to assemble protective pads around the walls of a municipal rink. Working in tandem, the skaters shuttled some 50 pieces of equipment &mdash; each resembling an oversized mattress and weighing about 90 pounds &mdash; from a storage area onto the ice. Then they slid the pads across the ice and against the walls, like puzzle pieces snapping into place.

    Team USA has earned more Olympic medals in speedskating than in any other winter sport.
