world championship sprint

last week end i race my 1st world sprint championship in heerenveen. WSC is made of 2x500m and 2X1000m. sprint is good for me to train the opening of my 1500m as, starting is still my weak point on ice.
1st day i did a pb on 500m: 37.00sec (37.55sec before)
1000m: 1M13.4

2nd day:
500m:37.4sec
1000m:1m13.04

next week end is the world cup in hamar: i race 1500m and 10km

european championship

in kolomna, i finished 24th from the EC. 500m was really not good as i hurt my groin muscle the week before, so i couldn t really make correct start....opening was then 11,3 in 500m with a lap of 27,4.
5000m :6m47
1500m: 1m50.85

final ranking:24th
