Whilst Sophie Muir was travelling to Vancouver to make history as the first ever Australian Olympian female speed skater, season newby Brooke Lochland was in Erfurt, Germany competing in an international race meet.

Brooke skated her way to a new Australian senior and junior record in the 3000m, skating a 4:35.31 to take the record away from Melissa Kah which was set in 1993.
This adds to her 1500m National record set in early January this year.
Comparitively, Brooke's times in the 500m and 1000m are pretty much on par with where Sophie's times were at this time last year, which is promising for the sport's future. Hopefully under Desly's direction, this time in 4 years in Sochi may see our second female speed skater at an Olympic games?
