MILAN — In her last chance at her favorite individual race, Brittany Bowe missed out on a bronze medal by six tenths of a second. She needed even less time to get over it.
Well, this is speedskating. There is a reason the clock goes down to hundredths of a second. Four years ago, Bowe earned bronze in this same event—the 1,000 meters—at the COVID-19-lockdown Olympics in Beijing. She finished one tenth of a second ahead of the fourth-place finisher. She spent even less time enjoying it.
