Brittany Bowe broke the women’s 1000m speedskating world record at the World Cup in Kearns, Utah on Sunday.
This is only one of the numerous world record smashed out of the 10 Olympic events in the past two weekends. Records have been broken in the women’s 1000m and 1500m and the men’s 500m and 10,000m. In three of these events, the record has been broken multiple times.
Skating in the same pair as Heather Richardson – who took Bowe’s 1500m record yesterday – Bowe lowered the record in the 1000m to 1:12.
