Great Britain’s Short Track Team Wins

Great Britain’s Men’s Relay team produced an excellent performance to take the Bronze medal at the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Gangneung, Korea 7th – 9th March.

With five teams contesting the final it was always going to be a tough race.
Korea dominated the race from the start and went on to take the Gold, and after a very close and exciting race which saw the teams overtaking each other almost every lap Canada took the Silver medal, with Great Britain’s team of Jon Eley, Paul Worth, Paul Stanley and Tom Iveson taking a well deserved Bronze medal ahead of USA and Russia.

Stuart Horsepool said, “ I am delighted with the way the team raced as well as the result, this was an excellent performance, every member of the team did their job and they thoroughly deserved to get a medal”.

This result after their Silver medal at the European Championships shows that the team are on good form and stands the team in good stead as they move on to the World Team Championships in Harbin, China 15th & 16th March.
