‘Comeback Queen’ Katherine Reutter leads 2016-17 Short Track World Cup team

Katherine Reutter, racing competitively for the first time since retiring in 2013 at the age of 24, qualified for the 2016-17 Short Track Fall World Cup team.

“It’s really exciting to see the return of Katherine Reutter and have her showing everyone her ability to compete at a high level,” said women’s short track head coach Alex Izykowski to U.S. Speedskating.

Reutter, a two-time Olympic short track speed skating medalist, earned a roster spot by winning the 1000m and 1500m titles at the U.S. Speedskating Short Track World Cup Qualifier this past weekend.
