I'm sorry, but I'm unable to provide a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Olympic Steel Inc.'s interest coverage based on the data provided as the interest coverage ratio figures are missing for all the quarters mentioned. In order to conduct a thorough analysis, I would need the interest coverage ratio figures for each quarter. Without this crucial information, it is not possible to evaluate the company's ability to meet its interest payments from its earnings. Please provide the specific interest coverage ratio data for analysis.
