ROUNDUP | Sunday's other events

FIGURE SKATING
Ice Dancing
Fiesta time on ice turned into an Olympic fallfest, with only the Russians and Americans avoiding real calamity. With three of the final five couples taking spills, including local favorites Barbara Fusar Poli and Maurizio Margaglio of Italy, two-time world champions Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov of Russia surged into the lead in ice dancing. Their cha cha, rhumba and samba -- and ability to stay upright -- put them 1.38 points in front of Americans Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto heading into tonight's free dance. Belbin and Agosto were helped immeasurably by an epidemic of falls that allowed them to move from sixth after the compulsories to second overall.
SPEEDSKATING
Women
1,000 Meters
Marianne Timmer of the Netherlands won the Olympic gold medal in the women's 1,000-meter, eight years after winning the same event at the Nagano Games. Defending champion Chris Witty of the United States was never a factor and finished 27th, continuing the U.S. women's struggles at these games. Jennifer Rodriguez, a Salt Lake City bronze medalist, was 10th, Amy Sannes was 25th and Elli Ochowicz, 32nd.
BOBSLED
Men
Two-Man
Neither snow nor suspicion slowed Germany's Andre Lange as the world's fastest bobsled driver turned a twisting Italian track into his own Alpine autobahn. Four years after winning an Olympic gold medal in four-man bobsled, Lange added a two-man gold to his collection, plowing Germany-1 through falling flakes and leaving the sliding world in his icy wake. Lange and brakeman Kevin Kuske finished with a four-run time of 3 minutes, 43.38 seconds to defeat Canada's Pierre Lueders.
