Full Results Here

I realize this is at altitude while Beijing was not, but some of these times are very good and within medaling (while others are way off). Brunet's 500 time is just 1/10 off the OR, for example. Other times aren't as promising, particularly in the women's long distances.

I don't think he raced. The Canadian Championships are more important to those that need to get on the team... for those that are pre-qualified, if they can't work it into their training block sometimes they just skip out entirely

Canada names long track speed skating team for World Cups in Salt Lake City and Calgary - Speed Skating Canada

 

Both Dubreuil and Fish are on the team despite not competing at the Canadian Championships.

 

Skaters ranked in the top 8 of a distance will be pre-selected for the Olympics. The remaining spots will be decided at the Long Track Canada Cup Skate-Off happening January 3-6.
