Results


Richard Goerlitz was the only Australian to compete this past weekend, competing in the Schaatscircuit event at Heerenveen in the Netherlands.

Richard skated a 40.09s 500m which placed him 5th in the field of 32 skaters. His 1500m time of 2:15.52 was well off his personal best time for this distance, placing him midway in the field.

Full results can be seen here - Schaatscircuit

Richard has had a couple of years break after narrowly missing selection for the 2006 Winter Olympics, so hopefully he will start to bring his times right down again with a strong end to the season.

I will attempt to find out the upcoming competitions for Australian skaters for the rest of the season.
