Editor Note: Due to the high media exposure during the Winter Olympic Games, my posts will be limited during this time but where possible, I will link to other media reports about Sophie Muir and the short trackers.
Daniel Yeow will be attending particular events during the games and I have no doubt that Daniel will update his site with informative reports and video directly from the site of the games and when possible, I will link to those articles.
After the games, I will begin using the site to deliver articles and news about all Australian ice speed skating, including short track.
I will take this opportunity to congratulate Sophie and Desly on their selection to represent Australia at the games, and I extend my sympathy to all the boys for missing out. To miss out by only 0.2 of a second or so , or by a single place is a bitter pill to swallow. I hope the guys keep training hard and refocus on the remaining world cup season and world championships.
Go Sophie!

I agree - I''m so very disappointed for all three young men to have missed the Olympics this time around by a veritable whisker! Commiserations but also congratulations too must go to Josh, Daniel and Ben for the heights that they did reach this season!
