CALGARY, Alberta - Chad Hedrick edged U.S. teammate Shani Davis to win the men’s 1,500 meters at a World Cup long-track speedskating event on Friday.
Hedrick finished in 1 minute, 42.14 seconds with Davis was just 0.05 of a second behind. Denny Morrison of Canada took third in 1.42:74.
“I think I’m going in the right direction,” Hedrick said. “When I skate disciplined and I come out here and skate like I know I can skate, I have a good chance to win. We’re going to go from here and take this momentum and try to run with it.”
Mika Poutala of Finland won the men’s 500 meters in 34.38. Jamie Gregg of Canada and Joji Kato of Japan were both initially timed in 34.45 seconds and awarded silver medals. The ISU later determined that Kato actually finished 0.006 of a second ahead and demoted Gregg to third place.
“Nothing to complain about there,” said Gregg, who still earned his first career World Cup podium finish. “Just got to work to get to the top of the podium. I was really happy with the opener but I still got to work on those corners, hopefully (Saturday) I can come and bring another good race and see what happens.”
Jenny Wolf of Germany just barely continued her dominance in the women’s 500, posting a 37.33 to slip past South Korea’s Lee Sang-Hwa and Wang Beixing of China, who tied for second at 37.34.
Rising German star Stephanie Beckert won the women’s 3,000 in 3:56.80. Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic followed in 3:56.83 and Daniela Anschutz Thoms of Germany was third in 3:58.07.
Gregg is the son of former Edmonton Oilers player Randy Gregg and Olympic speedskater Kathy Vogt.
Gregg’s sister Jessica is on the Canadian short-track speedskating team.
