Dutton on Podium in Berlin
(Berlin) Canadian World Cup team rookie William Dutton stepped on the World Cup podium for the first time Sunday in Berlin. "In Berlin they don't give medals to the top three of Group B but the Gummy Bears and flowers were terrific" Dutton said with a smile. He finished second in Group B earning 19 points in World Cup standings.
"I am excited about moving back to Group A, that is what we raced for in B, a chance to race with the top twenty in the world" he added. The top twenty in World Cup points qualify for the World Sprint Championships in February. Combined with his fourth place on Friday Dutton now sits 18th in the men's Group A 500 points standings.
His podium finish moves him up to Group A for the World Cup races in China December 4-5.
Dutton 20, is a second year member of the National Development team. He is also member of the Humboldt Speed Skating Club.
