Dutton back in Group A for China
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.

Olympic speed skating champion Kramer out of season

HAGUE, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Sven Kramer will not compete in the remainder of the speed skating season as the Olympic 5,000m champion is suffering from a right leg injury.
The 24-year-old has already withdrawn from the Dutch single distances championships and the World Cup events in Heerenveen and Berlin.
Kramer hoped that a period of rest would help to heal the injury and he seemed to be on his way back.
But the injury arose again. "It's the inside of my knee", he said to Dutch television channel NOS. "I can not put enough pressure on my leg, so I can not train fully. We will now investigate exactly where the complaints are coming from. That will take some time."
Because of the injury, Kramer will not be able to defend his titles at the European and World Championships.
