Good luck to all the athletes for this weekend's racing. This is the last chance for the skaters to post Olympic qualifying times for Vancouver, so it would be great to see all skaters hit those times in their respective distances.
Special thanks goes out to Daniel Yeow for the use of his great photos from last weekend's Calgary World Cup in my previous posts. Hopefully he will take a whole heap more this week too. You can see the full collection of his photo's for the Calgary event at The Darkroom.

So, the same selections as last week?
ReplyDeleteYes, same selections as last week. The selectors have done a great job in a situation where the AUS skaters seem to be lowering their times on a weekly basis. Giving both Daniel and Ben one spot each in the 500m at Calgary was vindicated despite some wacky commentary. To have left Daniel out would have been disappointing because it is his best distance. To show how close Ben and Daniel are was shown when Ben equalled Daniel's Aust record. Good luck to Sophie, Josh, Ben and Daniel for this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThese are exciting times for all the skaters involved and my very best wishes go to them all. I hope their dreams and those of their coaches are realised. I'll be sitting here waiting nervously for the results to come through! Good luck and smooth skating to all!
