Heather Richardson was so nervous at the start of the World Sprint Championships her legs were shaking at the line.
By Sunday, she had de-stressed, propping up her legs in the locker room between races then skating a tactically perfect 1,000 meters.
That gold in the final individual event, combined with a pair of bronze medals Saturday, helped her become the first American woman to win the World Sprint Championships since Jennifer Rodriguez in 2005.
"Yesterday was so tense," an elated Richardson said Sunday. "I just took all that pressure off me and said skate and have fun today."
The overall title was the biggest victory of her career.
While 23-year-old Richardson was all smiles afterward, Michel Mulder of the Netherlands was a jumble of emotions after he claimed second place in the men's 1,000 meters on Sunday to win the men's overall title.
"We're hoping for the first of February for practice. But we have to just wait and see how it goes. He's done a lot of work, but he hasn't had to go hard and stop and start. That will be important." -- Sixers GM Tony DiLeo on the possible debut of injured center Andrew Bynum.
