After his rehabilitation, he changed to long track speed skating.
On March 7,, at the Salt Lake City Olympic Oval, he became the first skater to break the 1:07 barrier in the 1000 m, clocking 1:06.88 for the distance, 12/100 better than Pekka Koskela"s world record of 1:07.00. However, later in the competition, Shani Davis would clinch the world record, as he skated the distance in 1:06.42.
