Print Edition
The United States set a world record to win the men鈥檚 team pursuit at the speed skating World Cup in Utah on Sunday in a major boost to their medal hopes at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The US team, which finished eighth at the 2018 Games, crossed the finish line in 3:34.47, improving on the previous mark of 3:34.68 set by the Netherlands in February 2020. 鈥淚 did the easy job,鈥 said Joey Mantia. 鈥淚 just get up front and lead the way and these guys are pushing me so hard that I can basically just move my feet and I keep the rhythm and keep the speeds up. The magic behind our team pursuit being successful is that everybody thinks everybody else鈥檚 job is the hardest.鈥 Thomas Krol led a third successive Dutch podium sweep in the men鈥檚 1,000 meters, with Olympic champion Kjeld Nuis finishing second and Hein Otterspeer coming third.
