xiongyao999,

I can tell you 100% that Tucker and all the US athletes have tremendous respect for the Asian skaters. The Koreans are incredible, and many Japanese athletes train with the US sprint team. Joji Kato & Tucker are close friends.

The reason that most of the comments are about Tucker, is that this is a sport you do "in your own lane", and it's really self-analysis.

All an athlete can control in long track is their own effort, that is a great difference from short track.
