Daniel Greig completed his weekend at the World Junior Championships in Moscow by finishing 7th in the 2 x 500m samalog.
In the first 500m , Daniel skated a 36.18 to finish in 6th place.
The second 500m saw him finish in 9th place in a time of 36.55.
The combined times gave him a score of 72.73, placing him 7th overall in the world (juniors) for the discipline.
Sunday saw Daniel line up for the 1000m distance in which he posted a 1:12.16 to finish in 11th position.
Considering that Daniel has less than two years ice experience, these results are a fantastic finale to his season, especially after narrowly missing Olympic selection.
Saturday saw Brooke Lochland continue her steady progress in ice skating, posting a 1:24.06 1000m and a National Record time of 4:31.84 in 3000m to finsih in 24th position in the allround category.
At these championships, Brooke posted two new national records, one in the 1500m and one in the 3000m.
Congratulations to Daniel and Brooke on your great results.
LATE NEWS:
Josh Lose was placed as a 2nd reserve for this weekend's World Allround Championship to be held in Heerenveen and the ISU has given him an offer to skate the event. I know it will never compensate for missing the Olympics by one position, but it is a nice consolation to get one last hit out for the year. Good luck Josh.
SHORT TRACK:
Tatiana Borodulina will contest the World Short Track Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria this weekend as well. I'm sure Tania will consolodate her strong Vancouver performances, and who knows, maybe she could end up with a WC medal?
Good luck Tania.
