This past weekend saw the Australian speed skaters head to the German city of Erfurt to compete in the Erfurt international.
On Saturday, Josh Lose broke the Australian record for the non-traditional mens 3km distance in a time of 4:02.17 to finish the distance in 4th place.
Josh also competed in the 1500m distance, finishing in 2nd place from 25 skaters in a time of 1:54.12.
Sunday saw Josh skate the 5km distance in a time of 6:55.56 to finish in 6th place.
Sprinter Daniel Greig skated his pet events of the 500m and 1000m on both Saturday and Sunday with the following results and times:
Sat 16th - 500m, 23rd of 87 - 37.45
Sat 16th - 1000m, 14th of 18 - 1:14.79
Sun 17th - 500m, 8th of 28 - 37.31
Sun 17th - 1000m, 5th of 27 - 1:15.38
Saturday saw Brooke Lochland skate her 2nd fastest ever 3000m in 4:34.19. Brooke also skated the 500m finishing in 31st in a time of 43.66.
Sunday saw Brooke compete in her 2nd 3km event of the weekend finishing in a time of 4:38.56.
Considering the low altitude of Erfurt, these result are very promising for this time of the season and with the first World Cup of the season only a month away, it looks like a very exciting season is ahead for the Australian skaters.
