After earning an Olympic title in the choppy, sloppy 1,000-meter speedskating race, Christine Nesbitt goes for gold No. 2 on Sunday in the 1,500. 'I feel relieved after the 1,000,' Nesbitt said of Thursday's race. 'Probably the worst 1,000 I have done this year. 'Now I can enjoy the 1,500.' After winning Canada's first speedskating gold at the oval by .02 seconds over Annette Gerritsen of the Netherlands, she no longer has to carry the weight of a whole nation's expectations on Sunday. 'I know I have to skate more relaxed,' Nesbitt said after Saturday's training session. This time, though, she will have more than the home fans to help her out. Kristina Groves is currently leading the World Cup standings and the two Canadians have exchanged 1-2 finishes over the last two races. 'All eyes are on Kristina and I am OK with that,' Nesbitt said. Groves, who won silver over the distance at the 2006 Turin Games, has also been able to ease the pressure after winning bronze in the opening 3,000. With the men yet to break into the medals, Canada must rely heavily on its strong women's team. More than halfway through the Olympic speedskating competition, the Canadians are in fourth position behind the surprising South Koreans, the Netherlands and the United States. Nesbitt and Groves are also key members for the team pursuit, where they are favorites to win gold, too. The Dutch, though, are expected to be close on their heels in the 1,500, but this time it is unlikely Gerritsen will be chasing the Canadians hardest. Gerritsen is primarily known as a sprinter, and will likely yield top Dutch honors to Ireen Wust, the surprise winner of the 3,000 in Turin. She was a disappointing seventh this time around, and will be looking for revenge over a distance where she is third in the World Cup standings. In Sunday's race, Nesbitt will go in the final pairing with American Jennifer Rodriguez, knowing what time she will have to beat. Groves goes one pair ahead of her against Poland's Katarzyna Bachleda-Curus. In the 15th of 19 pairs, Wust should set the pace for the other favorites to shoot at. Martina Sablikova, who won the 3,000 during the opening weekend, is also entered into Sunday's race but is not expected to challenge for gold on the heavy ice. The second gold for the Czech skater should come in next week's 5,000.
