Subject :BERLIN - Canada will be the third seed in womens team pursuit at the upcoming Winter Olympics after
BERLIN - Canada will be the third seed in womens team pursuit at the upcoming Winter Olympics after a fifth-place finish on Sunday at a long-track speedskating World Cup event. Thomas Greiss Jersey . Winnipegs Brittany Schussler, Ottawas Ivanie Blondin and Reginas Kali Christ posted a six-lap time of three minutes 2.81 seconds, missing out on a bronze medal by 0.77 seconds. The Netherlands won the event in 2:58.19, ahead of Poland and South Korea. Canadas roster for the team pursuit at the Sochi Olympics in February will be decided after the speed-skating trials in Calgary in late December and early January. Christine Nesbitt, from London, Ont., is usually the fourth skater for the Canadian womens team pursuit. However, the 2010 Olympic 1,000-metre champion was not in Berlin this week. The Canadian women were fifth at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and won silver in 2006 in Turin, Italy. Canadas men secured a spot in the pursuit event on Saturday. Individually, Heather Richardson led a 1-2 for the United States for her third win from four races in the womens 1,000. Richardson finished in 1:14.51 to beat compatriot Brittany Bowe by 0.91 seconds, with Russias Olga Fatkulina 0.98 off the pace in third. Calgarys Kaylin Irvine recorded her first World Cup top 10 with a 1:16.07. That improves on her previous top World Cup finish, 12th in Astana, Kazakhstan seven days earlier on Dec. 1. "I felt like things Ive been working on in practice finally came to together for a whole race today." Irvine said. "Im very happy with it." Reginas Marsha Hudey was 16th in womens B 1,000 metres. It was Hudeys first World Cup race at that distance after six starts in the 500 metres in her first international season. In mens competition, Olympic champion Mo Tae-bum of South Korea edged Japans Joji Kato by two thousandths of a second to win the 500-metre event for the first time this season. Mo, who won the 1,000 on Saturday, clocked 34.876 seconds to deny Kato what would have been his second win of the season. Dutchman Michel Mulder was third, in 34.95, in the final World Cup before the Olympic Games in Sochi. William Dutton of Humboldt, Sask., placed 20th in the A 500 metres. Dutchman Jorrit Bergsma defeated compatriot Jan Blokhuijsen for his first win of the season in the mens 5,000. Overall leader Sven Kramer of the Netherlands didnt race and Bergsma took full advantage by clocking 6:14.82 to beat Blokhuijsen by 0.84 seconds. South Koreas Lee Seung-hoon was third in 6:16.12. Torontos Jordan Belchos finished 10th in the mens B 5,000 metre, followed by Mathieu Giroux of Pointe-aux-Trembles, Que., 18th, and Reginas Lucas Makowsky was 20th. Jaroslav Halak Jersey . -- Hal Steinbrenner says Alex Rodriguez is "a great player" and "obviously an asset," but the New York Yankees managing general partner wouldnt discuss the third basemans possible return to the team following a season-long suspension. Travis Hamonic Islanders Jersey . - Robert Griffin III has a sprained throwing shoulder that limited him in practice Wednesday as the Washington Redskins prepared for their season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. http://www.hockeyislandersstore.us/Pat-Lafontaine-Jersey/ .
