AP - Katie Hoff won't be going home with an Olympic gold medal. The 19-year-old American failed to advance out of the 800-meter freestyle preliminaries Thursday night, ending her second trip to the games without a gold. Teammate and current world champion Kate Ziegler also missed out, a stunning result for the United States, which has won the event seven times since it was first contested at the 1968 games, including five straight from 1984-2000.
