Articles on Arakawa's medal chase battled for prime space in the sports pages with stories on baseball spring training. None of that, however, seemed to bother Arakawa during her free skate. After Cohen's spill-filled routine dashed the American's hopes for gold, the elegant Japanese scored five clean triples and a signature back-bend to notch a personal-best score of 125.32 in the long program. Slutskaya, who skated last, was no match and came in third behind Cohen...
