Injuries | In 2012 he broke his right leg while competing in short track. Three days after he had fully recovered, he fractured his left leg while participating in an inline skating marathon. He was out of action for one year. (Athlete, 18 Nov 2018; olympic.ca, 13 Jul 2015) | |
Other sports | He represented Canada in inline skating at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, ON, Canada. He was ranked eighth in both the 500m sprint and the 200m time trial. (SportsDeskOnline, 24 Nov 2016; speedskating.ca, 22 Oct 2016) |
Reason for choosing this sport | Initially a short track skater on the ice, he switched to speed skating after injuries left his ankles too weak to support his weight on a tighter short track oval. |
