Jordan Stolz Qualifies After Fall as Erin Jackson Wins 1,000 at U.S. Speedskating Trials

Policy changes and roster limits locked in key sprint berths while racing continues through Monday.

Overview

  • Conor McDermott-Mostowy won the men's 1,000 in 1:07.606, with Cooper McLeod second and Jordan Stolz third by 0.36 after an early stumble.
  • Pre-qualified by recent World Cup and world championship results, Stolz only needed to start to clinch his Olympic spot and remains the 1,000 world record-holder.
  • Erin Jackson took the women's 1,000 in 1:14.63, beating Brittany Bowe by roughly four-tenths and saying her recently torn left hamstring felt fine.
  • U.S. Speedskating awarded Bowe the second U.S. berth in the women's 1,000, confirming the four-time Olympian’s place for Milan.
  • The trials continue with the 500 and 1,500 on Sunday and mass starts Monday, and Jackson is also set to defend her Olympic 500 title next month.
