二月十六日(nigatsu jyuroku nichi): February 16

Good news! Japan got the silver and bronze medals for men's 500m speed skating. The Silver medalist is Keiichiro Nagashima(長島圭一郎) 27 years old (1'9"98) and the bronze medalist is Joji Kato(加藤条治) 25 years old (1'10"01).
Both of them suffered humiliation in the last Olympic games in Torino and the experience made them stronger. And this time both of them got the medals. Congratulations!!
They belong to the same company Nihon Densan Sankyo(日本電産サンキョー) which produces the skating shoes. They wished to get the gold medals. The difference between No. 1 and No. 2 was just 0.16 seconds. But the man created the shoes said he was happy that both of them got the silver and the bronze medals rather than only either of them got the gold medal.
