J.R. CELSKI

J.R. Celski leads the field in the Senior Mens 500 Metre Quarterfinals in Day Two of the US Speed Skating Short Track Single Distance Championships, also known as the "Fall Trials" at Utah's Olympic Oval.

These races are extremely important to the athletes as they are used in determining the twelve (six men, six women) skaters who will be placed on the United States World Team for this fall, the final prep season before the 2014 Winter Olympics and an important step toward making the future Olympic team.

JR Celski was an Olympian for the United States and bronze medalist (Vancouver 2010) in the 1500m and also the 5000m relay along with teammates: Apolo Anton Ohno, Simon Cho, Jordan Malone, and Travis Jayner.
