Correct

In the 1st run of the 500m at the Nagano Olympics Bos went through 100m in 10.21

World junior record was 1.44,45 by Brian Hansen in 2009. David la Rua put down a 1:44.37 in the B-division, but now Allan Dahl Johansson came along....1:43.13 

 

Moving to 21st on the all-time list, as a junior

@heywoodu Why you are so surprised (I think so because you use  smiley too often) when we are on the track in Calgary which is one of the fastest in the world?  It's rather normal that everyone are fast here and breaks their PB's and it's even not strange when we conisder that it's Olympic season where everyone want be so good as it's possible

Because most of the times they go to Calgary or Salt Lake, there are not THIS many super fast times. And Leenstra breaking the national record and setting one of the fastest ever times is not something you'd expect easy like that.
