Yeah, that first heat was fast. Gives him the best lane in the quarter-final match-ups.
500m semi-finals coming up. St-Gelais is in heat 1 and has to face both Park and Fontana. The 2nd heat would've been the preferable heat, as 3 of the top 4 in the event are in Heat #1.
Norway picks up another bronze.
EDIT: 1000m quarter-final match-ups two days from now are up. Cournoyer will have 5 competitors in his heat, it'll be hard for him to beat Lee and Han. Hamelin has Victor An in his quarter-final but they should move on. Jean has a very tight QF with Celski and Elistratov, but should move on in that one too.
EDIT #2: Disappointment for St-Gelais in her heat. Amazingly the favourite, Kexin Fan, is out too. Elise Christie who is #12 on the world cup and has never been in the top 25 before this season is going to race for a medal.
