The ISU World Cup Short Track Speed Skating Series 2016/17 resumed today in Calgary (CAN) with the Ladies 1000 m, second 500 m and Relay events. The event concluded with a World record in the Ladies 3000 m Relay event.



Elise Christie (GBR) and Shaolin Sandor Liu (HUN) claim wins in the 500 m 

Elise Christine of Great Britain claimed the win in the second Ladies 500m event of the weekend. Christie, who lead the race from start to finish, also moves into the lead of the World Cup classification for the distance after two events. Jamie Macdonald (CAN) earned the second place finish, narrowly finishing ahead of Yara van Kerkhof (NED). Petra Jaszapati (HUN) settled for fourth place.


One-two finishes for Korea and Canada in the Ladies  1000 m event 

Korean skaters Minjeong Choi and Suk Hee Shim finished first and second in the Ladies 1000 m event. Suzanne Schulting (NED) crossed the line in third place edging out Kim Boutin of Canada for the last podium spot. A photo finish review was required to determine the second, third and fourth place finishes, as all three skaters were separated by 16 one-thousands of a second.
