A week later she covered 3000 meters again and finished fourth with a time of 4:17.04. “I was hoping for an even better time,” she said after two results. The young athlete clocked an impressive time of 7:26.74 minutes in the 5000 meters, improving his German age group record by seven seconds.
She covered the 1,500 meters in 2:03.31 minutes, clocking two seconds above her personal best. In the end she also won the mass debut.
Talent’s achievements are even more astonishing, as each race started together with athletes of different age groups from several countries. “Everything was there, from adults to young people.” The ice rink in Calgary is also known as the fastest ice rink in the world due to the height (1034 m). But breaking records just out of pocket is not easy. Jash described the situation, saying, “The height drives you to start the race too early and there is a great risk of falling over at the end.” Incidentally, the sporting excursion to Canada was brought by the man in charge of the Olympic Oval, which made the project attractive to the JeM family. However, Myra was not new territory for the JeM: two years earlier she competed in season-ending Salt Lake City (USA) competitions. After returning from Canada, the ice racer continues to train with her home coach, Andreas Krauss – and for lessons at CJD Berchtesgaden.
