INZELL, Germany — The Team USA women skated in their first events on Friday, despite it being the second day of the World Single Distance Championships.
Brittany Bowe skated to a sixth place finish with a time of 37.77 in the 500m. She was paired in the race with Austrian Vanessa Herzog, who took home the gold in a track record time of 37.12 at the Max Aicher Arena.
“The ice was great, good start, ready for the 1000m tomorrow,” Bowe said through U.S. Speedskating.
Her top two events, the 1000m and the 1500m, take place Saturday and Sunday at this four-day championship.
