Andrew Heo failed to make it past the men’s 1000m short track final – NBC10 Philadelphia

American speed skater Andrew Heo will not have a chance to race for gold in the men’s 1000m short track.

The 20-year-old failed to make it past the men’s 1000m short finals, finishing third in the semifinals with a time of 1:24,023, behind Shaolin Sandor Liu of Hungary and Wu Dajing of China.

Countryman Ryan Pivirotto did not make it past the quarterfinals in the event. An early toe pick on the first lap of his temper sent him falling behind the competition, crossing the final finish line.

The finals take place late this morning.
