USA's Chris Witty skates during the 500m women's Long Track Trials Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2001, in Kearns, Utah. The top skaters will compete in the 2002 Winter Olympics representing the United States. Witty, of Park City, Utah, won the event. Bolstered by the home-ice advantage, the U.S. speedskating team has grandiose visions of Olympic glory at the Salt Lake City Games. If all goes according to plan, Apolo Anton Ohno will be a household name, while Chris Witty, Casey FitzRandolph, Jennifer Rodriguez and Derek Parra will all be climbing on the medal podium.
