2024 World Championship bronze medallist Brendan Corey has started his 2024-2025 season strongly, with a seventh place A-Final performance at the opening event of the season in Montreal, Canada.
In the 1500m event, Corey placed second in the opening rounds heat, won his quarter-final and in the semi-final was advanced to the A-Final after being taken out by another skater.
The A-Final featured three Korean and two Canadian skaters, with Corey crossing the line in seventh in a time of 2:20.187, with Canadian home town skater William Dandjinou taking the win in a time of 2:18.607 seconds.
Corey also raced in the 500m and 1000m, where he finished 27th (500m) and 34th (1000m).
Joining Corey in Montreal for Australia were AIR athletes Lucas Wareham and Hyo Jin Kim.
Wareham placed 66th in the 500m, 46th in the 1000m and 69th in the 1500m.
In the women’s event Kim was 43rd in the 500m, 40th in the 1000m and 37th in the 1500m.
The next World Cup event will again take place in Montreal next weekend, after the event had to be moved from Salt Lake City due to the venue not meeting safety barrier criteria in time for the event.
