World Spring Championships help shape USA Team roster

By Thomas Mclean // US Speedskating // January 21, 2007

(Salt Lake City, Utah -- January 21) With several outstanding performances by the USA Team at the ISU World Sprint Speed Skating events in Hamar, Norway, US Speedskating athletes have positioned themselves strongly for the 2007 ISU World Single Distances Championships in Salt Lake City, March 8-11.

Ryan Shimabukuro, US Speedskating National Long Track Sprint coach stated, " I thought the team did really well... and the skaters stayed focused and were really determined to put their best performances on the ice."

"The men secured a full quota of four skaters for next year's World Sprint Championships. Shani ( Davis) skated some amazing 1000's, but I was most impressed with his 500m on Sunday. That result set him up for the overall poduim."

After a disappointing first day in the 500m and some visits to the podouim in World Cup events this season, USA sprinter Tucker Fredericks put together two very good races to move into fourth place.

Olympian Eli Ochowicz launched herself into the top 16 overall rank and gave the USA a third women's spot for next season.

"She skated one of her strongest competitions ever. She skated her "lowland" personal bests and put four strong races together to finish 14th overall," said Coach Shimabukuro.

The US Speedskating Sprint Speed Skating Team will continue their European swing and compete in The Netherlands, at the World Sprint Cup January 27-28.

Below are the Results for the Hamar competition this weekend followed by "unofficial" calculation of the standings to date;
