After winning world championship titles two weeks ago, two-time Olympians Brittany Bowe (Ocala, Fla.) and Joey Mantia (Ocala, Fla.) will compete this weekend at the 2019 World Sprint Championships in Heerenveen, Netherlands.
Bowe’s performance at the World Single Distance Championships earned her a gold medal in the 1000m while setting a new track record. Mantia’s Mass Start gold medal was a back-to-back win for him in that championship event.
The World Sprint Championships is a combined points event. All athletes skate two 500m and two 1000m races. Lowest point total after four races wins the overall title.
