Park City's Andrew Johnson, who opened things with his first gold medal on his 27th birthday (Jan. 3), brought down the curtain with his second title. Daylong rain Sunday, which continued past dawn, forced organizers to scramble and re-route the trails for the pursuit events, which begin with a classic technique, mass start (7.5K for women. 15K. for men) and lead into same-distance skating races. The trails held up for the classic races, athletes said, bul when things turned lo skating, il got messy. 'Hie soggy courses broke down a bit. Johnson overtook Dave Chamberlain at the start of the final 3.75K loop and methodically pounded his way lo victory in one hour, 22 minutes and 31.5 seconds. Chamberlain, looking to clinch a spot on his ihird World Championships learn, probably did il by finishing second in 1:23.26.4. "I just didn't have enough in skating lo hold off Johnson. He skates so well," a weary but pleased Chamberlain said. 'Hie gnarly weather didn't give him any problems "because I love skiing in it. Il reminds me of the East," Chamberlain said. "I definitely was bogging down in the hills and Johnsons so smooth. He's so good at this stuff." Johnson, who started the U.S. Ski Team Residency Program when he moved to town in 1999 lo work with U.S. coaches, has seen some major success at Soldier Hollow - 25th in his first World Cup in 2001. 22nd in his first Olympic race in '02, and two national lilies this month. "I like it. there's no fluky racing out here. You have lo be in good shape, you've golla be on the ball, your skis have lo be good - everything has to be right lo ski well here," he said. "To race well here, you have lo be in really good shape. You don't get fluky results. You have to be prepared and T feel I am." He also knew he could oul-skate Chamberlain, so when he got within 19 seconds lo slarl the final loop, lie could sense victory "1 knew 1 had an advantage on Dave in skating. 1 jusl didn't know if I'd have enough time."
