A penalty has denied two‑time Olympian Brendan Corey a medal in the 1500m A‑Final at the World Championships in Montreal, Canada, which would been the second World Championship medal of his career.
Corey progressed strongly through the rounds, finishing second in his quarter‑final to advance directly to the semi‑finals. He then secured his place in the A‑Final after a penalty was applied to Korean skater Daeheon Hwang.
In the A‑Final, Corey crossed the line in second place but was later handed a penalty after race officials ruled that, as the inside skater, he failed to give way. The decision relegated Corey to eighth place.
Corey also delivered solid performances across the other events, finishing tenth overall in the 1000m after advancing to the B‑Final, and 20th in the 500m.
Also competing for Australia at the World Championships was Lucas Wareham, who finished 39th in the 500m, 28th in the 1000m and 49th in the 1500m.
In the women’s events, Hyo Jin Kim placed 28th in the 500m, 21st in the 1000m and 22nd in the 1500m.
