From what I have read about the sport, he was a legitimate contender. He has had a great season, but then at qualifiers, he fell 50M from the finish line so the Canadian team sent a different skater. (Because apparently in speedskating, one race determines the team). In any case, the skater who was sent instead of Morrison (Junio) stepped down to allow Morrison to skate.
