Connor Howe isn't on the start list for the men's 1000m so it seems likely he's dealing with an injury or illness

Yeah that’s the only thing that makes sense

Looks like Graeme Fish won't be going to the Olympics. Only 17th in the B division.

 

Edit: Forgot there's going to be one 10k race at stop #3 so his only chance is to post a great time there.

Given his form I am less than optimistic. Unless he's nursing an injury or illness that will get better during the break.

Lemarche finishes 6th in the 1000m, just bout 2 tenths off the podium. Still looking good. 4th in the WC standings.

Kind of interesting, the top 10 had 5 Dutch, 3 Japanese, and then an American and a Canadian. Then it was China/Korea for the next 4, then another Canadian. So, 6 countries holding the top 15 spots, and then 4 other countries for the last 5 spots. 

 

Not bad company to be right behind Dutchies and Bowe, though. Nothing in stone yet, but looking good to qualify for Milan.

Alright, Dubreuil needs to recover here. Hopefully no one gets in his way this time.

FFS, was about to win the whole thing probably, and slips. He might want to join the Short Track team...

Like I said in the other thread. It's not just short track. Canadians just have a thing. It's like finishing 4th. It's a national identity.
