On Day 1 of the ISU long track World Cup speedskating finals, American Brittany Bowe made history on home ice at the Utah Olympic Oval. The 31-year-old set a new world-record time (1:11.61) in the women’s 1,000-meter event, winning another World Cup gold medal. Bowe now has 13 World Cup medals this season — four of which came in the 1,000. Bowe won gold at the 2019 world single distance championships in the 1,000-meter last month.
Bowe finished fourth overall in the women’s 500-meter race Saturday. She will compete in another 500-meter race Sunday as well as the women’s 1,500-meter event.
