Junior World Championships - Greig Finishes in Top 10

Day 1 of the World Junior Speed Skating Championships in Moscow, Russia has seen Daniel Greig take out a top ten finish in the 500m distance, taking out 6th place. His time of 36.18 was just .01 off his national record posted in January this year.

This is a massive improvement on last year's result where Daniel finished in 45th place in the same event.

Brooke Lochland, contesting her first real international event for Australia skated a personal record 500m, registering a 42.93 to finish in 52nd place.

Brooke's 1500m time was a new Australian senior record in 2:11.37, taking another 1/2 second off her January record time to place 45th. The current samalog placings after day one of the championship has Brooke sitting in 34th place.

We wish Daniel and Brooke continued success over the next two days of the championship.
