Speed Skating: Miho Takagi Wins 34th World Cup Gold To Tie Japan Record

  • Category:Event

Miho Takagi won her 34th speed skating World Cup gold medal Friday, tying Hiroyasu Shimizu and Nao Kodaira for the most by a Japanese.

The 30-year-old won the women's 1,000 meters at Calgary Olympic Oval after the Beijing Olympics 1,000 gold medalist clocked 1 minute, 13.10 seconds.

Jutta Leerdam of the Netherlands was 0.36 behind in second and Han Mei of China was a further 0.12 back in third.

"I'm genuinely proud to be able to reach this record at my age," Takagi said. "But there are areas I'm not doing well. This is not my goal."
