Jessica finished third after several areas of contact with the Russian skater. The Russian got a penalty, so Jess advanced!

John-Henry advanced to the 500M A Final, but Jessica found herself in a World Record heat and finished third. She will be in the B Final.
kexin Fan (China) set the new record, and we heard that Jess set a new National Record!
