Zomerijswedstrijd, Heerenveen NED, 8th August 2009

Team Goldrush got their LT season kick started on Saturday, with Josh Lose, Daniel Greig, Daniel Yeow and Sophie Muir having a hitout in various distances in Heerenveen at the Zomerijswedstrijd

Josh Lose - 5000m - 6:57.75 - WCQT

Daniel Greig - 500m 38.35

Daniel Yeow - 500m 44.63, 1000m 1:24.58

Sophie Muir - 500m 42.60, 1000m 1:24.05 - WCQT

It must be remembered that it is still very early in the season and all these skaters are world class. All the Aussies are putting in some heavy training workloads and these events are just another part of their training and their advance on Olympic selection for Vancouver.

To have three Australian skaters post World Cup qualifying times this weekend shows how promising the current group of skaters are.

  1. I should probably mention that there was a mix up with the startlist for the 1000m. The time that appears under Daniel Greig's name is actually mine (Daniel Yeow).

  2. Thanks Daniel, Desly had advised me of that fact at the time but I hadn't changed it. Consider it corrected,

    Cheers
