Overview
- Conor McDermott-Mostowy won the men's 1,000 in 1:07.606, Cooper McLeod was second, and Jordan Stolz finished third just 0.36 seconds back after an early fall.
- Stolz had already pre-qualified for the 500, 1,000 and 1,500 by meeting World Cup benchmarks, so starting the race officially confirmed his Team USA spots.
- The 21-year-old said a recent cold left him dehydrated and cramping, though he recovered quickly to post a competitive time on home ice.
- Erin Jackson, coming off a December hamstring tear, won the women's 1,000 in 1:14.63 to secure the U.S. place in that event.
- Brittany Bowe took the second U.S. berth in the women's 1,000 and will make her fourth Olympics, with the full roster to be finalized after Jan. 5 within the eight-men and six-women team caps.
