(Berlin) Denny Morrison showed his mettle Saturday in Berlin winning the B group going away. Morrison unexpectedly ended up in the B group as the result of a starting line stumble in Heerenveen left him in second last place in the Mens 1500 World Cup standings last week.
Morrison, clocked at 1:46:98, picked up 25 world Cup points this morning while toiling in the trenches in group B. Out of the lime light, Morrison easily tallied the win. He will move back into group A for the next races in China early in December.
Canadian team mate William Dutton, the Canadian World Cup team rookie out of Humboldt Saskatchewan notched his first International podium finish with a second in the men's group B 500. Dutton moved back into contention for the World Sprint Championship qualification with his morning skate. He will compete in group A at the next World Cup stop in Changchun China.
Racing continues in Berlin later Saturday. The Canadian women are heavily favoured to finish on the podium in the 1500.
