Canada's Maltais, Bloemen earn bronze at speed skating World Cup in Calgary

Speed skating star Jordan Stolz of the United States won gold and Canadians Ted-Jan Bloemen and Valérie Maltais both earned bronze Friday at Calgary's World Cup.

Stolz, a two-time world champion in the 500, 1,000 and 1,500 metres, outduelled Dutch archrival Jenning De Boo at the Olympic Oval by just over a tenth of a second in the men's 1,000.

Calgary's Bloemen laid down an Oval track record in the men's 5k that was later beaten by victor Casey Dawson of the U.S. and runner-up Sander Eitrem of Norway.

Dawson finished the race in 6:01.84, two-hundredths of a second faster than Eitrem and 0.42 seconds ahead of Bloemen.
