Awesome effort Daniel. I knew when you got second on track, you could only get better with less corners and a longer straight for that start of yours. I should have put some money on it. Congratulations.

FYI. The attached article was in Spanish only on the Cali web site. Being the curious dad I am, I translated it using an online translator. Its not perfect but one gets the gist.
Mark Greig In a day fulfilled with surprises in the World Championship CIC 2007 in Santiago of Cali came the shift of Oceania, precisely of Australia, country with an enormous history inside the speed skating but that in the last years saw his performance darkened in the principal international events but in Cali it seems to have recovered the smile again. The protagonist of similar performance is at all any more neither more nor less than Daniel Creig who surprised in the track on having finished in the second extraordinary place staying to tenths of the highest of the podium being raised where it was overcome by the Colombian Pedro Causil but in the route the revenge came before more than 10.000 spectators who remained mute after the unbeatable performance of Daniel Creig. Daniel had marked the best record in the phase of classification in the morning but in the night it would be difficult to fight against the complicated public host but nothing mattered so that Australia present again in the highest of the podium in a World Championship CIC, something that 2002 was not happening from Ostend when remembered Shaun Thompson obtained two golden medals and in speed we have to go back one year behind when in Valence d'Agen he was Coking Price who did not achieve the gold but if pud Creig had a difficult task this night, the Colombian Causil had marked an incredible record of 17s06 and seemed to have left with the golden medal but the oceanic one appeared to fix the chronometer in 17s05 and for the hundredth one it remained with his first title of the world silencing to the flaming stadium caleo. The surcoreano Bong Ju Choi was third with 17s38. |

PG...for the record the Korean Bong Ju Choi was third in 17.3762. When I posted the official results, that were handed to me by the clerk, he wasnt even on the sheet.

Hi All,
Well done Daniel! I hope some of the race was caught on video - if not by one of the Aussies, was there official coverage I can maybe licence footage from? That would be one race I would pay to licence footage for! Anyway, hopefully we can catch up with you out at Eltham soon for the "Late Night Skate" slot when it starts in December. Thank you to all the people who have kept the news coming. For any Australian Team member who shot video, please chat to Jon Evans as we might try and get some highlights up and running on air very soon (if not stand alone, as part of the coverage of the Grand Prix events).

I have forwarded a media release including photo to Australian Associated Press (AAP) who will then submit it to the media and hopefully will end up as a story in the newspapers. Fingers crossed.....
