Morrison finished second behind Vincent de Haitre of Cumberland, Ont., in the men's 1,500 metres Saturday. 2:25"Going into the Olympic trials, I'm always a little nervous," de Haitre said. He helped Canada win men's team pursuit gold in 2010, and silver in 2006. Some athletes had already made the Olympic team prior to trials based on podium results in 2017. A top-three result at trials, plus meeting or having met Speed Skating Canada's time standard, is required in order to be considered for the Olympic team.
