It we’ve got the park Brothers Caleb Park in second Wy Park in third but those have change Wy Park his Advanced moving up from third to First in just a lap to take the lead away from Howard coming around with six laps to go park is your leader followed by his brother
Caleb uh Park Marcus Howard in third Yun in fourth in fifth five laps to go and this race is just picking up now we’ve got it’s going to be a fight to the Finish between everyone in this race Howard attempts to Outside Inside pass but fails ends up
Pushing Wesley Park ahead giving him nice little speed boost so he doesn’t to work as hard from these last three laps now there’s a big gap there’s a gap between him and the rest of the pack Wesley Park is out in front Howard chasing him down in second Yun and close
On their ta between and third pass is happening everyone’s going downway ends up passing but two people go down in the corner we’ve got a lap left in this race and I’m confused I don’t know where anyone is that right now Wesley Park is our leader and he’s going to come
Crossing the finish line and looks like a little bit battle between second place Caleb Park sneaks by Shan to get into second place finishes finishes in third Howard and fourth and Yun in well we’ll see what happens between Howard and Yun as they are still skating
There’s always a rule you should fin you should uh abide by short track finish your race always skate to the Finish because you don’t know what someone else is doing behind you and with Caleb Park sneaking byway in that very last moment he only beat him by what looks
Like a tenth of a second we still got skaters skating on the track finishing their race and our referees once they finish will 100% go look at the video replay play just trying to figure out what happened in that race and with that whistle that will conclude our semi 1,000 meter
Semifinals we are going to take a re resurface break and we will come back with our lower block finals consisting of the women’s C final and the men’s gfb D and C finals I didn’t see what happened in the entering the turn okay that’s why I stood up
There there was one lap to go right in qualifying position you get Advanced not we will resume racing at 150 with our women’s cinal 150 well there’s there’s a I have a pen so this is how it looks I mean it is not easy I’m not saying it’s easy but
Um so here’s like uh here’s the Montage hotel uh and then if you take the you know Mar saac yeah take it all the way up you keep going up at one point it goes by the by the Montage there a roundabout here and then it goes up like
That and there’s a hard right and then there’s a parking lot right here that takes you up to the top but it kind of winds around a little bit you get to the Ridge and the ridge goes like this and then on the other side of the ridge is a
Skate Trail you skate down that’s probably about half a mile then when you get down here there’s another parking lot you cross over that and then the trail heads here and you can either go this is this is hard if you go up here it’s really
Hard keeps going all the way to the top here comes around it’s all downhill all downhill like that goes over here here there’s a a loop right here that’s flat and then ladies and gentlemen in that last race there was a penalty to skater 495 Daniel Yun end of straight
Outside skater not giving space and skater 469 Marcus Howard will be Advanced to the a final come goes across like that you can go up here you have you don’t have to go the hard way up because this meets you can go like this and catch this Loop and do
A little Loop like this sorry like this this is kind this is like a somewhat flat a little climb downhill downhill or flat and then a little bit of a climb and then flap so that’s the easiest lap this is the hardest lap yeah yeah no you just go straight
Down so that’s kind of the that’s like a little bit of that’s probably like um probably a little bit harder than the than the white pine 3K probably the same length maybe even shorter than the white pine 3K but it’s just like a little bit of climb here
This I’m Sor a tiny bit right here and then down Hill flat flat flat flat flat flat flat uphill and then again little uphill and then flat all the way to here again so yeah this is what sucks this right here this is the worst
Part that’s I mean I went the first time and I was like that’s to the top and like can taste blood in my in my gums and now if I just go up slower with I’m okay with it but I’m still still T then you recover all the way down here this
Is fun and scary because you’re going down here pretty fast or you just plow but you have tracks all the way around here and this is just absolutely flat but it’s just this big circle so I so one lap I’ll go this Direction one lap I’ll come and go that direction um and
Then this is usually by the time I get to here it’s always uh soft so it sucks going up because it’s soft and it’s exposed these are all pretty good everywhere else but it’s but it’s a lot of terrain for sure but you can get to
Here the hardest part is getting here I mean just from here all the way to here is what kind of sucks like but you can just ski down there till you get to the trail head but you got to and coming back it looks like it’s uphill but it’s
Not really it’s kind of like you kind of keep coasting sometimes thinking it’s uphill but it’s really down it’s like a F flat so to speak but yeah it’s uh which is hard like running is it you got you got to push down and pull are you pulling back when you’re on
Your skis CU what I understand it’s kind of like a it’s not just going like that you know like moving your feet forward but when you’re here you almost like pulling down and back at the same time as going back okay but definitely getting a lesson
Like oh you’re I saw I was there one day you know Billy deong from Olympics he wanted gold and the combine we’re friends and we we each things and I’m I’m doing a lap and all of a sudden I’m like bil he’s like hey what are you doing here so I’m talking
To somebody I think I’m with Lucy Chris best Lucy’s best I’m talking with Chris and waiting for him to come around and then Billy goes up so I end up catching Billy but he’s on classic skis and I’m he his dogs and I’m I’m skate skiing and
He stops and he goes nice nice just come here for a second get to top of the clim and stop he go time is a lot like your your PL your planting then you’re putting your foot down and then you’re pushing and then you’re pushing with your ski you want to
He’s like you want to land like the exact same time so that your weight’s almost like he he over exaggerated like you’re falling on your ski with your pull so that everything’s coming down and then you when you as you start transitioning you’re already pushing with it I
Go so now I’m I’m I’m going like three one three one in my head going three make I’m hitting the same time and it makes a difference and when I’m off if I’m like like two three you can feel like you’re not getting all the weight transfer little things like that I’m
Like thanks that makes a difference so I can’t imagine on the cuz that’s yeah little things I I got a black that one time I crashed stuck in tracks that’s hilarious I didn’t know how fast skates classic teers can go I’ve never really seen a
Fast I was out there one day this girl came around that that part and then she was like pushing like that she jumped out of the the trail like she was going like this like like steering herself jumped into the classic ski and went like and like literally saw her
Accelerate and I just went I couldn’t believe how fast someone was going on those skis compared to skate skis I know skate skis are faster but she was climbing uphill and you could see her like going and her poles were it looked it just looked effortless but you
Could see her gaining momentum I was impressed like holy who’s that like she must be a athlete it looked that good I might try that one day I’m not I’m not there yet I’m still on my classic kick so what time we starting it’s a four continents so sorry
So uh there’s a European championships which is going on right now yeah um and they get prize money and everything right now like that a championship you can win if you you used to be in Oceana like you know was Australia New Zealand the US Canada I think part of Asia like yeah
Japan Korea Kazakhstan and Russia I guess right it’s all part of the Asian right so that was the other Championship but it it’s not it’s never big enough there’s not any TV viewage so they tried it and you just did it to qualify for the World cuz you had your European World European
Championships where you qualified your European countries to go to the world championships and then you qualified through your Oceana to go to the World Championships that’s where all the countries went well the four continents is a development program they’re trying to put in place where you have Japan China or China continent North
America and like Colombia and the P Pacific I guess region they’re coming in they’re having thank you they’re having a competition and they’re giving out prize money but it’s it’s suppos to be the lower level but teams who don’t have World Cup skaters and and juniors send
Their best skaters there so you might have someone skate four continents and the World Cup you might have someone disqualify four continents it’s a lower qualification and not go to World Cup so we’ll send all of our B level skaters to four continents to get an experience and
The next week the World Cup is our top skater so it is it’s a bit of a championship but it’s it’s not the league championship I wondered if it was like seemed like reading that it was like the same people but that makes more sense it kind of is for some countries
Because they don’t have a lot of big talent pool so again we send both because we have Juniors and and seniors but not Kazan I’m trying to think of some teams that are small Spain um Portugal they’ll send those are European countries but countries like that that will send small groups just to
One because they have no Elite skaters so makes sense but it’s it’s small it’s a very quick competition there’s probably 40 athletes maybe more 50 athletes a think it’s 100 almost 250 or 60 World Cup athletes oh wow yeah there one session right now with the current numbers one practice
Session will have 139 skaters and one 145 skaters I didn’t know was that big that’s the World Cup right yeah but it’s only about a third of that I think for the four continents okay and again only probably 20% will be the same the same skaters because the Dutch are going to
Send AR going to send anybody there because not part of that continent but all the Dutch come to the World Cup that makes sense so but it’ll be interesting talking to my wife saying so they’re skating almost every weekend in January it’s it’s like I’ll help out
Some exhausting this well this back Tob back killed us cuz yesterday was hard with the the third day of the long track and then literally two hours before this started I we trying to get everything hooked up and making sure everything’s good it’s just I I didn’t want I didn’t I was
Opposed this goes on Monday too right sorry yeah and then Saturday we’re shutting down Saturday and Sunday to build to pull the bleachers out and take all the hockey boards down on Friday off that sheet and get it ready for Monday that’s when practice starts that goes
For two weeks and then we break it down that Sunday night and Monday and the next weekend is a track meet that big huge track meet 1800 kids here over Friday Saturday and the following weekend is another track meet on two days one’s a distance Challenge and the
Next morning’s a Sprint challenge so we’re going to have Lally like a month and a half of of events or work working crazy and I I didn’t I didn’t when they asked they asked me like you do back to back I said no don’t want to do it you
Guys got to find somebody El and they went to Todd and Todd’s like yeah I think we can do it Todd’s not here but um you can’t it’s just hard to do this without a lot of staff and few of us were here 16 hours yesterday I to say
It’s you can but then you get people that are starting to burn out yeah I’m burned out I bet and even getting volunteers I mean at some point it’s hard to get people over and you’re here on a weekend which is great save somebody for the next time but tomorrow’s going to be
Tough thewhere we’ve got three minutes till the start of racing three minutes I’d love that um almost ju out he wow R I didn’t know how why he left he there and he left s did because Sarah Sarah s don’t forget our women’s sea final is making

Samantha Sheffer in Lane position four we have skater 380 Selena Sue skaters to the line go to the start [Applause] Ready Clean start to the beginning of of our th000 M final block we’ve got four women in this race right now looks like Sheffer is our early leader in this
Race followed closely by the rest of the pack Selena Sue in second Anderson in third and Michelle Y in fourth we’ve got a very very slow pace going on right now and usually this indicates a Sprint at the final usually usually that Sprint will happen anywhere from six laps ago
Uh three laps ago four laps ago five laps ago it could even be the last very last lap just depends when one skater wants to pull the trigger just like right now everyone’s off to the race the Sher picks up on the path for Michelle Y and gets going creating speed
Instantaneously continuing her lead Selena Su still on right on her sh ye in third and Anderson in fourth coming around the corner with four laps to go we’ve got no change in Pace shefford putting out some defensive tracks Selena says I can read you like a book makes a

Who is belongs in what race but when that happens I will announce the starting position immediately we’ve got our track stewards out there preparing the ice putting blocks on the correct track laying water down so that the ice is a little bit grippier than just plain ice if you
Didn’t know that now you know water makes ice grippier crazy right this weekend of racing is going to be kicking our senior World Cup uh members that will go and race for the US in the European World Cups in World Cup five and six and they will also choose our world uh Cup

Start passing it looks like Louisiana stall out in the lead followed by Unice Lee and Julie laai Cameron Loot and Grace Lee seven laps to go this is kind of an intermediate race we can see it real fast in the beginning or a little slower but Julie L is not wasting any time she’s getting herself right to the front as she should with Cameron loot now battling for that coveted first place
Position being up in front of this race early on is beneficial Cameron loot Julie laai Unice Lee Louisiana stall and Grace Lee now moving up into fourth place four laps to go it’s loot in laai one two as laai makes a clean move around the inside it’s laai in first Lee
In second loot in third Lee in fourth and stall in fifth still laai and Lee one two followed by loot it’s laai Lee loot stall B lap laai and Lee out in front but it’s a battle for third place Cameron lot’s fighting strong taking that third place spot leai
Lee and loot unofficially in that race I don’t know and we find our officials back over at the instant replay so we’ll hold as they review that in the meantime let’s introduce you to the Thousand meter men’s B Final in this race number 429 Jonathan so 416 Xavier
Lawrence 449 Justin Lou and 418 Shane for two Olympics ago years ago it happened in marquet Michigan Olympic trials that ladies and gentlemen in that last race there was a penalty to skater number 347 Cameron loot for S3 in the straightaway arm block and with that we will be calling
Our men’s thousand meter B final to the start line go to the start ready Justin L with that quick First Step getting him out to the lead but Shan wants a piece of that lead getting positioned up in front of this race early on is going to be very
Beneficial to you as an athlete everyone has a different strategy there go after but it is sh and Lou followed by so and Lawrence eight laps to go nice relaxed base here don’t see that lasting for very long this is going to get animated and animated quickly as these nine laps
Disappear off the lapboard quickly and so moves into the lead with a gentle inside move it’s so and followed by Lawrence and L that was Justin lose slides up the inside relaxed pass into second place it’s so Lou Laurence and coming out of the corner we’re going to start applying more pressure three
Laps to go so picks the pace up trying to pull away from his opposition it is so and Lou so Lou Lawrence ande at these speeds it’s very hard to make passes so you’ll see the move by Shane on the inside there to take over third place it’s so and Lou Will Lou
Challenge Jonathan so in this half lap so shuts him down coming through the final turn it’s Jonathan so Justin Lou Shane those are your unofficial results we’ll wait for the officials to review their notes perhaps take a look at the video replay area again make sure what they have in their
Notes is what actually happen so we can make accurate calls in these races should every ladies and gentlemen that last race there was a penalty to skater number 418 Shan schw for S2 in the straight Lane change from inside to out up now we have the a final of our men’s
Thousand meter in this race 405 Brandon Kim 458 Andrew heo 453 Wesley Park 442 Caleb Park and 469 Marcus Howard go to the start ready and it’s an aggressive start out of this ainal no one’s messing around here on this one everybody knows the front is
Where you want to be and they’re going to be battling for that the whole nine laps coming out into the lead early Caleb Park asserts his dominance over the fields taking over that number one spot Andrew heel Brandon Kim Wesley Park and Marcus Howard round out the field with six six laps to
Go that early aggression has seemed to stabilize a little bit as we get through the middle part of that race but don’t expect that to last long as we’ve got Brandon Kim moving on the inside of Andrew heo to take over second place it’s Park Kim heo Park and Howard
Lurking in the back as they come out of this corner they’re going to be looking at three laps to go and I’m going to expect a little bit of excitement as we keep this going or does uh Park is he keeping too much pressure on to make a
Move behind him it’s two laps to go now park Kim heo Park and Howard Park in the lead and Kim now with a beautiful outside pass to take over the lead it’s Kim and park holding off all opposition but it looks like at the line Marcus Howard lurking in the back the whole
Race comes in to pull that second place SP so we’ll say Kim Howard and park one two three but we’ll wait for our officials looks like it’s a clean race so we’ll get that’ll be the end we’ll do a resurface break now and we’ll restart at 3:30 nice even 3:30 is when races
Will resume o sorry about that our calculators were wrong down here we’re going 320 320 we’re going to resume racing with the men’s 1500 meter quarterfinals got 54 I’m e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
And we are just 2 minutes away from the start of racing two minutes from the start we’re going to resume with our men’s 1500 quarterfinals e and they’re coming on to the ice we are ready to go in this first 1500 meter quarterfinal race in this race we have
Number 429 Jonathan so 449 Justin louu 440 Benjamin Sullivan 431 Sunman kuang 436 Sam hober and 460 Aaron Lou and we are off to a leisurely start here in this 1500 meter 13 1 12 laps around the around the track here in this quarterfinal race in these races we’re
Going to be picking to move on to the next uh round we’re going to be taking the top four plus the fastest one out of all of them so after everyone who qualified gets in the top fours in each race will take the next fastest time
So if you’re one of those athletes who thinks you’re looking for one of the faster times you probably want to get this race going a little bit faster than this one in the front it’s Jonathan so Justin L Sam hacker Suman Quan Benjamin Sullivan and Aaron Lou makes a nice little slide into
Second place trying not to disrupt things too much but Justin Lou responds back moving up in the first it’s Lou so Lou one 12 three hacker lurking in fourth place plotting his move as we come out of the corner with eight laps to go it’s Lou so Lou
Hacker as we come around Jonathan so with a quick acceleration slides onto the inside a lot of these moves are just positioning moves cuz being up at the front of the race is where you want to be in something like this so they try to position themselves just slide up the
Inside or outside making gentle moves try not to disturb things too much don’t want to get too aggressive too early in this race it’s a long race as we see Aaron Lou on the outside into first it’s Lou so Lou as they slowly apply more and more pressure as this race ticks
On it’s Aaron Lou and that Jonathan so back into the inside taking over it’s so and Lou one two so so Lou Lou one two three Suman Quan in fourth and Benjamin Sullivan in fifth place one lap to go remember it’s top four plus one so John Ben Sullivan is going to be
Be looking for a fast time here although it was close at the end we’ll have to wait for photo finish on that one for that fourth place spot with that whistle that ends that race and we’re going to move on to heat number two of the 1500 meter
Quarterfinals in this race we have number 405 Brandon Kim 471 Aiden Lou 491 Julius Julius keneki 4 64 Alex glovsky 414 Leo Thompson 473 William Wang in 447 Gabriel hasselbach e seven skaters in this race we’ll see what their strategy is if they’re going to go calm and slow to start this one
Off looks like it is as Alex kovski takes the lead early but is content to keep this at a leisurely Pace it’s kovski and Thompson one two doesn’t seem like anyone’s too hungry for that final qualifying spot that comes off time they’re all looking like they’re going through one of those
Top four places that’ll get you right through you don’t have to wait get through in the top four you’re moving on 10 laps to go we’re starting to see something resembling more speed skating positions here the speed isn’t quite Speedy just yet but that will come with
10 laps to go as we start battling for those front row seats up at the front is where we want to be in this race Aiden louu now into the lead over sklovsky it’s Lou sklovsky Leo dros Thompson with a smart move bringing him into the front it’s Thompson Lou
Scovi kazen Nei now into the lead it’s keneki Thompson Lou sklovsky six laps to go we’re starting to apply more pressure keneki and Thompson one and two in the driver seats right now everyone else is going to have to figure out a way to get by them if they want one of
Those top spots it’s keneki and Thompson one two Lou in third keneki and Lou now into second place but on the outside Brandon Kim comes in to take over the lead it’s Kim keneki louu sklovsky 1 2 3 4 those are the qualifying spots sklovsky goes into the
Third it’s Kim keneki sklovsky Lou Thompson Wang as they come out of the corner they’re going to be looking at one lap to go so we get a move by Wang on the inside it’s Kim sklovsky sklovsky now in the last corner it’s slavski Kim Lou and keneki unofficially moving on
Quarterfinal number three is stepping on to the ice in this race we will see number 458 Andrew hio 442 Caleb Park 4 27 Brandon laau 480 Wesley Jones 451 Edwin Sweeney and 438 sha LIPA e ch all Andrew heel right to the front controlling the pace this is one of those Paces where
He’s kind of welcoming anyone who wants to go around him to make that move slowly little bit of acceleration from Brandon laau not content with the pace wanting to speed it up a little bit Edwin Sweeny knows he needs to be at the front of this
Race get the others to move around him you’re at the front you’re dictating the pace it’s Sweeney and Lao one two Lipa into third Jones in behind him in fourth hio and so heo and park patrolling the back of the race right now nine laps to
Go sweet still at the front it’s Sweeney and Lao Lipa and Jones Sweeney Lao Lipa Jones currently in those qualifying spots with hio and park just outside the qualifying spots right now but there’s still seven laps to go we’re going to see this pace slowly build up as we go Sweeney still in
Control making this race his race if you’ve got to if you want a spot you got to get around him and and just like that Lao moves around him it’s Lao Sweeny Jones Lipa heo now into fourth place five laps to go it’s Lao Jones and on the outside heo
Now into the lead it’s heo Lao park on the inside into the lead it’s Park hio Lao Jones Sweeney Lipa three laps to go these athletes want to put just enough effort forward to get them into the next round don’t want to exert too much energy because they’ve got a couple more
Of these if everything goes right they got a couple more of these this afternoon Park and hio one two one lap to go park heo laau and Jones coming out of the corner heo slides up the inside side it’s heel Park LA and Jones unofficially Moving
On two more races before we’ll break for Icy surface two more races in these 1500 met quarterfinals picking the top four plus one first three races so far have been relatively slow pace so we’ll see if these next two Heats we’re watching and if someone in here wants to pick the
Pace up a little bit to help get them that fastest fifth place spot that’ll move them in in heat four of five we’ve got number 469 Marcus Howard 416 Xavier Lawrence 4 62 Noah tro 495 Daniel Yun 420 Ching chingan zong number 484 George Wheelock Marcus Howard leaping out into the early
Lead lead not for long as George Wheelock comes over the top it’s Wheelock and Howard Weck Howard Trope Lawrence those are our qualifying positions but it’s still early Anything could happen as I’m sure we will see Daniel Yun in chiong zong not content to stay at the back of the race
We lock Howard and tro one two three as we’re ticking off the laps as I said this race is very strategic and especially in a quarterfinal round we’ve still got two more rounds to go after this for those who are moving on and you don’t want to
Exert you want to exert just the minimum amount of energy you can in order to get through any more than that could harm you in subsequent rounds with eight laps to go here some blades moving some bodies moving now as Howard slides around the inside feeling the pressure from Yun
Seeing him on the outside making that move it’s Howard Yun and Lawrence now applying the pressure with six laps to go Howard Yun Lawrence zong is starting to become active in this race it’s Howard Lawrence zong Yun Trope and Wheelock Marcus Howard controlling this pace with three laps to
Go trying to keep it at a pace that makes a pass a little bit hard for the people behind him remember it’s the top four that move on plus the next fastest one so George wheelock’s going to want to really put some pressure in here to
Try to get that time this is probably one of the faster ones as it’s Howard Lawrence Yun Howard Lawrence Yun and tro Howard Lawrence Yun and Trope unofficially moving on we’ll wait to see if George Wheelock had the speed to push through and with that we’re bringing on the
Fifth in final men’s 1500 meter quarterfinal race in this event we will see 418 Shan schwai 493 Ryan Shane 453 Wesley Park 409 Ian Chen 475 Kelvin Calvin Yun hook M and 407 Shu Sharma for Ian Chen into the early lead it’s Chen and Sh schwarma Sharma Chen Sharma and Y hook m
This is a blistering Pace in comparison to what we’ve been seeing here this is going to be a great race these guys get it these guys know that it’s not going to take much to get that fastest time and putting a little pressure on early in this race is what they’re looking to
Do Chien in Yun hookim Shu Sharma into second Chen Shu Sharma eight laps to go Wesley Park doesn’t want to mess around at this pace in the back so he’s taking over at the lead it’s Park and uh that Shan Ryan Shane Park Shane two3 Ian Chen in fourth qualifying
Position five laps to go again trying to do just what’s necessary as Calvin Yun hook IM takes over that fourth place spot from Chen now with three laps to go Ryan Shane not content with his position or the pace so he goes to the front and says let’s pick
This pace up a little bit I hear blades clacking behind me I don’t like that it’s Shane and park Shane Park schwai one two three Calvin Yun hook m in that fourth place position with one lap to go trying to hold on to it as he’s being pursued by Ian Chen
Through the line Ryan Shane the dramatic finish cementing his place as the winner of that heat unofficially of course we’ll wait for the officials to sort that out we’re just out here having fun and we’re going to go to a Zamboni break now we’ll wait for the officials to take
A look at that last race race looks like they want another angle of that but looking ahead we’re going to do a track resurface we’ll figure out what time we’re restarting here momentarily after that we’re going to move on to the women’s 1500 met semifinals followed right up by the men’s 1500 meter
Semifinals and then I think this is a pretty enlightened crowd that we’ve got here after that we’ll do a resurface break and then we’ll come the finals as we progress through restart time is 402 402 we will restart racing for those of you who may be looking for something to do until
402 on the south ice sheet right now we’ve got a hockey game going where our commentator from earlier in the day Olympian Ryan pado and long trck speed skating Olympian Mitch Whitmore are doing battle in probably the third period at this point surely it’s a close
Game as the Blades of Glory which is the name of their team they’re the dark jerseys Blades of Glory are out there battling with some sort of dog opponent I couldn’t get the name of them but it’s a great game if you want to take a look
Take a watch over there cheer on our Olympians Ryan pado and Mitch Whitmore as they play a little stick and puck for for for sir yes sir for e for CL shot CL shot mik check one two test shot coming up test shot you got it there we go for for for ch
Got for first you right for you spe my no and we are just five minutes from the start of racing 5 minutes for those of you who are interested in the Blades of Glory the score of the Blades of Glory hockey team featuring Ryan pado and Mitch Whitmore they are currently losing
And it’s not it’s not too good over there it’s fueled really from what I just saw by a lack of backchecking in really unimpressive offense at this point but I will say they’re probably in better shape than most of the others so hopefully they come on strong as we enter the third period
Now am the internet wouldn’t like to meia what now I can see where you live you still see this this and we are just one minute from the start of racing we are going to resume with the women’s 1500 meter semifinals we’ve got three of them
Coming up and in each of these races we’re going to be going to the finals so if you want to make the a final in one of these races you got to be in the top two positions or have the next fastest time out of the three so if you finish
Third place in one of these races you’re not necessarily out as long as you keep it speedy in the beginning of the race so you can make sure that’s a fast time once again we are picking two plus one to move on to the ainal don’t forget we’ve got subsequent
BCD finals as well but before we get there the first race will feature number 314 Unice Lee 347 Cameron loot 380 Selena Sue 360 Andrea cow and 316 Zoe Li go to the start ready and we’re off to a nice public skate in this race Cameron loot taking
The Strategic early lead as everyone’s just kind of sizing each other up seeing who wants to do what is anyone interested in that front spot it’s almost as if loot is daring someone to pass her take over this lead early in this race this is a long race
For anyone who has never done this race this is a long one and this strategy of going a little easier early can definitely pay off with a very rap rapid finish often animated exciting finish we see when we look at a pace like this it’s loot Lee Sue Lie and
Cow kind of ticking the laps off expending minimal energy looks like we had an attempted pass by cow on Li there but lie shut her down or cow hit the brakes not sure which one no one wants to unveil their strategy too early in this race except for Andrea cow with the
Powerful outside pass followed by Selena Sue Cameron loot Eunice Lee and Zoe lie nine laps to go eight and a half at this point it’s C Sue L Lee and slowly Andrea wants to command the pace of this race Andrea cow saying if you want to get through you’ve got to go by
Me because I want to get through to this ainal it’s Andrea cow Selena Sue Zoe lie Cameron loot Unice Lee six laps to go in this race Andrea cow slow slowly applying the pressure slowly turning the Vice on this group behind her saying I’m not going to make
This easy on you all to pass me as Selena Sue works over the top cuz she couldn’t go on the inside it’s Sue loot now in over the top into first place it’s loot Sue Lee cow and Sue down into the corner getting up it’s Cameron loot Unice Lee Zoe lie Andrea cow
Zoe Li slides up the inside on Unis Lee at the second place it’s Cameron Loot and Zoe Li Unice Lee Unice Lee is not happy with that as she says I’m going to take the outside route to tight on the inside it’s Unis Lee opening a gap those
Outside passes require so much speed you’ll often see this Gap open after you make one but it is Lee loot moving on to the A5 final unofficially Zoe Li hoping to pick up that fastest spot but based off the early pace of that race we’ll have to
Wait and see Selena Sue is finishing up her laps after that fall that concludes semifinal number one of the women’s 1500 M as they slow down catch their breath and exit the ice we will welcome number 325 Grace Lee 338 Louisiana stall 305 Michelle y 369 Samantha sheffler and 327 Isabella zacho
Wait are we on the men or the the go to the start ready Isabella zacho knows what she wants to do and she gets out to that early Pace keeping the pace up a little bit faster she watched the first race and she knows that as of right now it’s not
Going to take much to get that third place fastest time that moves on to the a final so she’s going to take it into her own hands and push the pace early it’s Zach siolo followed by Shefler stall and Lee followed by y it’s zacho still Zach siolo
Sheffer just putting a little bit of pressure on early at this race is going to make all the difference difference in seeing if that third fastest time will come out of here Michelle y slips up to the inside it’s ye stall Lee Sheffer zacho still Michelle y Louisiana stall gracely Samantha
Sheffler six laps to go this has been a great Pace the whole time as we come out with five laps to go start to see a little bit of movement here still Michelle y Louisiana stall and Grace Lee stall and Lee are content to let Michelle set the pace
Here as Grace Lee comes up the inside it’s Grace Lee Michelle y Louisiana stall these inside passes really tricky as we get to the corner squeezing it in it’s Grace Lee Louisiana St Michelle y as Louisiana stall goes down coming out of the corner it’s Grace Lee Michelle y in the qualifying
Spot and Isabella zacho looking to have that work payoff that she put in early in this race to see if she can get that fastest time moving her into the ainal we’ll have to wait and see as we have Louisiana stall still finishing out the race here on her last
Lap now that race was hands down faster than the first one so it’s looking good for Isabella zako if those results stand as called we’ll see if this third semifinal was paying attention if they watched that last race and what how they’ll respond to that as qualifying for that ainal lots
Of points to be had there and competing in this last semifinal will be 336 Julie laai 3 391 una will Hoy 358 Elizabeth rad haml 349 Caroline Anderson and 303 kangun Jang for and that whistle calls the racers to the start go to the start ready now we’ll see how this one pans
Out as we take a calm calculated start to this race now these slower starts really very strategic looks like these athletes are saying I’m not concerned with that plus one I’m going to put myself in the top two that’s what I’m racing for in this
One and that’s what we see as kyun ja controls the front of this race unao willhoit close behind in second Caroline Anderson Road Hamill and laai round out the field Caroline Anderson heads to the front it’s Anderson and Jang one to touch of the blades makes everybody
Nervous as Anderson still holds on to the lead it’s Anderson and will Hoy Jang Road haml and latai eight laps to go we’ve got a steady Pace set by Caroline Anderson challenging the field at the front as she slowly tightens the vice and applies pressure she can hear that noise behind
Her and starts to turn it up a little bit more as she wants to stay in the front in that qualifying position with six laps to go it’s Anderson in will hoit one two in the qualifying positions we’ll see if Jang road haml or laai want a
Challenge and here comes leai moving her on the outside with the lead it’s leai and will hoit leai will hoit Jang Road haml and Anderson out of the corner L Tha is stretching the lead on will Hoy and Jang remember top two plus one move on we’ll have to wait to see what the time is on this race but it started rather slow with two laps to go latai is in a commanding lead now it’s leai will hoit Jang and Road haml battling it out for
That second a final qualifying position setting things up for this last and final Corner as we come through will it stay the same as laai crosses easy but at the Finish Line it looks like will Hoy was able to hang on and again we’ll see what happens when the results are official
And we’ll see what happens for that ainal once we add in the fastest time and of course for those of us on the crowd and watching live on YouTube remember that just because you didn’t get one of those top two spots everyone’s getting seated into a final in these races
So there’s lots of racing still to come as we move right into the men’s semifinals after watching them compete earlier in the quarterfinals we have now narrowed it down to three semifinals for the men in these semi-finals we will also be picking two plus one to move into the ainal two plus one
Moving into the a final out of these races and in this first 1500 meter we’re going to see seven skaters number 418 Shan 469 Marcus Howard 462 Noah Trope 460 Aaron Lou 471 Aiden Lou 458 Andrew hio and 480 Wesley Jones go to the Start ready [Applause] Marcus Howard jumping out early like he did in the quarterfinal getting up to the front early doesn’t want to mess around with the back of this race neither does Shane or Andrew heo in the top three spots it’s sche Howard heo Noah Trope in there these semifinals things are
Getting a little more serious as Trope makes a big outside move gapping the field it’s Trope hioe Trope heo Howard SCH Lou Lou Jones Trope still stretching it out Sean s tries to bridge the gap a little bit Andrew heo is not happy with how quick that’s happening it’s Trope
Hio Jones Howard Howard Jones Jones Howard too wide on the backstretch it’s he and Trope as Jones comes in knocking shway down shakes the field up but in the front remains unaffected that’s the advantage of being up towards the front of these races staying out of that risky business as we see passes
Happen it’s hio Trope Howard hio Howard Trope and Aiden Lou hio Howard Trope Aiden Lou as we saw Jones Aaron Lou and Shane fall victim to that pass again we got some passing desperation moving on here as heo and Howard stretch it out heo and Howard in those qualifying spots
Trope trying to get that fast time it’s heo Howard Trope and Lou coming through that final turn that’s how it will remain we’ll sort it out with the officials here as we see these athletes finish finishing up their races keep in mind they’re still trying to qualify for
BC D finals so how you finish and how you fight through this final laps is means something as they come through looks like that and that whistle signals the end of the race we’ll let the officials sort that out I got a feeling they might visit the instant replay monitor or perhaps they
Have enough information from what they saw on their own to confirm but we’ll see that’s why we have instant replay to make sure that we get calls correct but that was a interesting race saw lots of passing that’s what we happen as the finals as we progress through the rounds
Here the stakes get higher and higher with every round and there we have it our head official Al Johnson heading over to the instant replay Booth to take a closer look as semi-final one exits the ice in our officials review that race to make sure they see if anyone any wrongdoing
Was had in those passes we’ll welcome semifinal number two onto the ice in this race we will see 493 Ryan Shane 453 Wesley Park 416 Xavier Lawrence 495 Daniel Yun 431 sunming kuang 449 Justin L and 491 Julius keneki one more for and we have just gotten word from our
Officials there were two penalties in that last race number 460 Aaron Lou C 5 in the corner contact from behind number 462 Noah Trope S1 in the straight Lane change from outside to in and we will also see number 418 Shan advance to the B final although we are still reviewing
One final thing looking for confirmation all right and we are complete and ready to go with semi-final number two for those of you it’s been a little bit since we had initially announced them so we’ll reintroduce them 493 Ryan Shane 453 Wesley Park 416 Xavier lawence 495
Daniel Yun 435 31 Suman Quan 44 49 Justin Lou and 491 Julius keneki go to the start ready all right let’s get the party started Justin Lou wasting no time catching the rest of the field off guard as he gaps him initially and Ryan Shane Works to bring things back
Together it’s Justin Lou Xavier Lawrence no it’s Wesley Park Wesley Park Justin Lou Ryan Shane Xavier Lawrence nice Pace this is a good Pace to see it early on as we jockey for positions remember the front of the race is where you want to be staying out
Of those desperation passes that we see coming at the end of races like we saw in the last event keeping yourself up towards the front is going to keep you safe as we continue to see Wesley Park demonstrate that Wesley Park Justin Lou Ryan Shane they know what the deal is
They know where to be in this race that has six laps to go now still Park L Shane Lawrence y not tent slides up Lou down in the corner as the pressure is applied it’s Park Shane Yun Lawrence Park Shane U Lawrence and then a gap to
Keneki and Suman Quan’s involved in that [Applause] fall remember it’s two plus one moving on so this race is far from over as Shane and Lawrence go down keni coming into third place now we’ve got two up at the front top two move on plus the fastest time this has been a quick one
We got to get keneki to this Finish Line see if he can pick up that third spot absolute Carnage on the track right now as Park and Yun unofficially qualify into the a final keneki will have to wait if all things remain even we see him at least in the B
Final as we got lots of people finishing up here our lap time lap counters are working overtime earning that delicious volunteer lunch we had earlier Justin Lou comes around on his last side oops we are going to sort this one out as our officials work through this the stakes are high ladies and
Gentlemen as you can see the progression of races semifinals everyone’s battling to get into that a final and wants a piece of it as our officials Al Johnson heads over to the video replay Booth alen Al checking things out making sure the calls are good and we want to get this sorted out
Properly so that we can make sure the right people make it into the right r races so we’ll have some calls coming up here momentarily but until then the third semifinal is on the ice and in this race we will see 475 Calvin Yun hook M 409 Ian Chen 429 Jonathan so 464
Alex klovski 405 Brandon Kim 442 Caleb Park and 427 Brandon Lao lots of head nodding by our officials over there looking for consensus on the calls once we know what they are we will let you know what they are as our officials consult with video replay our track
Stewards making sure the ice is ready for this next race mending any holes or gouges we may have making sure the track is set in the right place as we shift the track up and down on the ice to vary the tracks make sure we’re giving fresh ice all the
Time we’re starting to get some preliminary calls in and I’ll have those for you shortly for ladies and gentlemen we just heard from our chief referee Al Johnson in the last race there was a penalty to number 493 Ryan Shane C1 in the corner Lane change
From outside to in and we will also see number 416 Xavier Lawrence advaned to the binal and number 449 Justin Lou advaned to the a final go to the start ready in this early part of the race as we jockey for position people sort out where they want to be in the
Field we see early on Brandon laau jumping out the lead it’s Brandon Lao lots of movement early in this race Jonathan so into lead it’s so and Kim Caleb park park so Kim and La we are picking two moving on to the a final two moving on to the a final

Looking to button up that a final as they stretch the Lead it’s so and Brandon Kim Caleb par Alex glovsky 34 as we slowly finish this race that is going to conclude our semifinal round and we are going to move along now and take a resurface break before we move on to our finals our finals will begin at 450 4550
We will resume our finals for those who are interested in our Olympian Ryan pado and Mitch whitmore’s hockey game I think they ended up losing a million to one it wasn’t good when I was over there but that’s why they’re speed skaters and they were not hockey players they’re
Very very fast out there that’s for sure but their stick handling skills need to be worked on still so we will resume racing at 450 450 with the men’s and women’s 1500 meter finals like think down I haven’t even looked sorry okay I’ll not clearly the smarter one yeah you tell my wife
That did don’t work for the car was even we EX Is That’s surprised d that’s to know for da for sign thought last e e Des test shot all right ladies and gentlemen we are going to push start time back five minutes we’re going to push the start time back 5 minutes races will resume at 455 455 races will resume see you talk too

Final yes we had some very exciting men’s semifinal races with couple penalties here couple advancements there once we start doing that stuff the math gets a little more complicated and it is absolutely imperative that we get it correct so we’ve got our team over here working in double-checking triple
Checking to make sure the math is correct we carried the ones we divided appropri we multiplied and squared everything up e I’m surprised e all right it’s party time now I promise you we are getting this started with the E final of the men’s 1500 meter e final
Is going to fire off here and in this race we will see number 436 Samuel hacker 447 Gabriel hasselbach and 438 sha LIPA for go to the start ready and we are underway with our finals finally and Sean Lipa out there early taking an early commanding lead
Here in this final it’s LIPA Becker Hasselback 1 two three our skater from Buffalo St Louis Buffalo Lipa setting the early Pace wants to make this his race it’s Lipa and hacker Hasselback patrolling the back waiting for his moment to pounce nice steady Pace continue to knock off 10 five laps really stable
Skating right now coming out of the corner eight laps to go we’ll see some pressure start to be applied as if Lipa wants to maintain that position in the front he’s going to have to have to start applying more pressure to keep the competitors at Bay Lipa hacker hassleback LIPA doing
The work here saying this is my race if you want to win this you got to get by me it’s Lipa hacker Hasselback 1 two three in this long race five laps to go though coming down to the end it’s Lipa and hacker now on the inside hacker Lipa Hasselback one two

Thompson and 451 Edwin Sweeny go to the start ready Sharma onto lead there is no this is all about what place you finish in all about what place you finish so this strategy the controlled race early on the chess game is very relevant in a final where we see Sharma and
Wang Sharma Wang and wock coming through 12 laps to go in what looks like they’re just public skating but is really a strategic race as we see chiny zong explode out of the back causing chaos in the field let’s see how they respond as William Wang is hot on his
Heels trying to make a move George Wheelock now patrolling the front it’s Wheelock at the front trying to pull him in and just like that the chess match gets very aggressive still zong in the front Wheelock in Pursuit Sullivan in pursuit charma in Pursuit seven laps to
Go now as a group starts coming back together we’ll see what happens next will we see a Counterattack will they form up Shu Sharman down in the corner we’ve got a compact group once again but still zong in the lead Wheelock and Sullivan third and fourth followed by Thompson everyone’s collecting their
Wits catching their breath a little bit as we continue on calculating looking at their competitors listening to their competitors sizing them up figuring out do I have what it takes as we come through with three laps to go to make the move that’s going to win it for us
And George Wheelock says I have what it takes as George moves into the lead Ben Sullivan hot on his heels it’s Ben Sullivan and George Wheelock in front of him it’s Wheelock Sullivan Thompson one two three one lap to go Ben Sullivan slides up the inside and stretches the lead now
With Superior speed it’s Ben Sullivan as we cross the line for the win and looks like Leo Thompson sneaks across the line just in front of Wheelock exciting RAC as we still have skaters on the track and our lap counters are working overtime absolute hardest job in the
Building is the lap counters we absolutely love them as they do their work I would say after announcing lap counting is a close second actually actually I’ll revise my statement but we’re finishing up Shu Sharma getting an accurate count here with two laps one and a half laps to go
Now coming through Shu finishing strong really important last lap Bell lap for Shu sharmma coming through really important to finish these races get your points the points all add up as he finishes strong after that tough fall earlier in the race all right cinal inbounds and in this
Cfal we will see three skaters remember we saw some penalties in some advancements in the semifinal round which makes final rounds a little difficult makes things a little bit harder so we’re going to see three competitors here in this cfal but I guarantee this is going to be a good one
Cuz these were three of the hottest competitors most aggressive competitors that we have in the semi-final round and we are looking to have some fun and finish out the day in style in this race we’ve got 475 Calvin Yun hook M 409 Ian Chen and 480 Wesley Jones for
Our officials are visiting the instant replay Booth Al Johnson Al ref in the legendary yangy reviewing the race lots of action in these races in times someone may have done something wrong never intentionally but it happens from time to time and we want to make sure sure we get everything sorted out
Just right there’s a lot at stake this weekend on lots of different levels so we want to make sure we’re Fair have Fair races get everyone home safe ladies and gentlemen in that last race that was a ton of fun to watch we unfortunately had two penalties the
First penalty is on skater number 440 Benjamin Sullivan for C4 in the corner arm push we also had a penalty on number 473 William Wang S6 end of the straightaway illegal late pass as we await the starters whistle and have some ice maintenance going for those of you wondering those calls sound
A little bit strange if you’re new to the sport we have very structured disqualification system to keep everything consistent so we sound a little bit robotic as we say C4 S1 there’s an st4 F3 all kinds of different codes we’ve got over here that determine the different calls that are out there in
Different ways athletes can receive penalties so bear with me it sounds a little robotic but it all makes sense and with that we call this race to the line go to the start stand up please skater position two just move it this way a bit go to the start ready
All right three skaters nowhere to hide in this race that this chess match 1500 meter race so much strategy in the 1500 that goes in especially in a final espe especially when there’s three people out there you truly truly have nowhere to hide as Calvin Yun hook M slowly strategizing using his
Periphery Vision what’s happening behind me listening intently with his ears listening for any bit of aggression behind him from the skates of this of Ian chant and Wesley Jones staying relaxed but alert as he conserves his energy and listens intently at what’s going on behind him no rear view mirror in short track
So we got to use all our senses to keep alert of what’s going on here and Calvin is tent to keep ticking off the laps here at the front moving along at a leisurely 16.3 Pace That’s my kind of pace these days out here on the short
Track starting to see a little bit more speed skating position here as we bring it from a 166 to a 161 seven laps to go 152 and things start to get more and more tense as the race goes on this will come to an end we will see the moves with
Every lap that goes by more and more pressure is applied as Calvin stays steady at the front challenging them to make the move on him he hears it behind him he reacts Wesley Jones too powerful though over the top it’s Jones M and Chen 1 two
Three coming out of the corner four laps to go as Jones stretches his lead well Ed purs well time Jump there he had it’s Jones IM and Chen 1 two three three laps to go will IM be able to bring him in as we go and Jones continues with his
Commanding lead it’s Jones in in Chen one and a half laps to go Jones is on cruise control now one move is all it takes to blow this race to Pieces well time mood lurking in the back the whole race Jones wanted to control it said
We’re going to move when I say so and it paid off as he crosses the line first followed by Calvin Yim and in put you out of oh all right enough of the men’s Racing for for now let’s move on to the women’s Binal in this binal event we will see number 369 Samantha sheffler 303 kyung Yung Jang 358 El Elizabeth Road haml 349 Caroline Anderson 338 Louisiana stall 316 Zoe Li 360 Andrea cow and 380 Selena Sue six on the line go to the start ready here we go eight on the line for this
