The Winter Olympic 2014 at Sochi, Russia are well into their 6th day and the hallmark of today's proceedings is the Men's 500-Meter Ice Speedskating.
The men's 500-meter speedskating event is among the most exciting 30 or so seconds you'll ever see. Unlike the longer distances, the skaters have absolutely no margin for error, and a slow start could doom their chances of seeing the podium.
The men's 500-meter race, unlike the longer distances, takes place over the course of two heats. Each skater will race once on both the outer and inner lanes of the track; this is to correct for a small but statistically significant advantage given to the skater on the inner lane. Times are added together to create an overall time, with the lowest times eventually reaching the podium.
Watch the exciting and it's full of drama Men's 500-Meter Ice Speedskating event today 10 February live from Adler Arena Skating Centre at Olympic Park, Sochi, Russia. The telecast begins at 7:30 a.m. ET / 13:00 GMT
