Kearns • Brittany Bowe’s decompression plan could make anyone jealous. She’s boarding a plane to Bali, Indonesia, this week and going to do her best to relax. It shouldn’t be hard. The 31-year-old American long-track speedskating star just completed the best year of an already-great career on the ice. During Sunday’s long track World Cup season finale at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns, Bowe added another medal to her haul this year. A silver medal — and for a few minutes a new world record in the women’s 1,500 before it was later topped — puts Bowe’s World Cup medal total at 14.
Beyond Brittany Bowe’s stellar season, how does U.S. speedskating look as the season wraps up and 2022 Winter Games loom in the distance?
