(Winnipeg) Humboldt's Ryan Bernhard won two Silver medals at the Canadian mass Start Long Track Championships in Winnipeg February 10 and 11. Bernhard narrowly missed gold in the 300 and edged out several Quebec skaters to take Silver in the 500.
Bernhard, who last week won the North American Championship, found the going tougher as he faced as many as four Quebec skaters in each medal final. Burner, as he is known, was a clear second overall until disaster struck in the last race of the day. Bernhard, skating second, was overtaken by the pack with one lap left. In a very tight finish he missed a medal by the smallest of margins and ended up in sixth by a hair.
As a result he finished fourth overall in the juvenile age class.
