Australian speed skater Jim Lynch set a new world mark in the 60-69 years age group category last night at the Australian Short Track Championships being held in Sydney.
Jim skated a 50.494s 500m semi-final time to better the mark of Gary Link who's record of 52.81s had held since 2005.
As you may be aware, I have compiled a list of unofficial 'world' records for Masters short track which comes directly from the the national records of various countries. I will only update the list once a record is ratified and published by the skater's national body. So, with Jim's record, the list will not be updated until such time as it is ratified by Australian Ice Racing.
With still the 3000m A and B finals to go this afternoon, I will publish the full results in the next day or so, with some videos slowly making their way up onto the WMST YouTube site.
