Alex Merriman has matched the best result of his career, skating to 11th place in the 1500 metres in Saguenay, Canada. Merriman had also finished 11th in the Korean leg of the World Cup in October, over the same distance. Competing in just his third senior event, the Brisbane 17-year-old qualified second in his preliminary round to go straight through to the semifinals. In the semis he placed fourth, then was fourth again in the B final for the overall placing of 11th.
