BASELGA DI PINE, ITALY – Canada capped off the 2019 ISU World Junior Speed Skating Championships with their most successful day of races, earning six top 10 results on the outdoor oval in Baselga di Pine, Italy.

The second day of long track speed skating at the Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, Alberta saw 30 medals handed out to 25 competitors who set three new Canada Winter Games (CWG) records and four new track records!

The distances raced on February 17 were the 500m and the team pursuit. In the 500m, competitors race two races - one in each lane (outer and inner) - to create an even playing field due to the varying difficulties of skating a smaller or larger radius in the last corner.
