The Union Luxembourgeoise de Patinage de Vitesse (ULPV) has reported that Peter Murphy competed in the ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Rotterdam (Netherlands) two weekends ago.
Luxembourg's Peter Murphy skated in the Ahoy Arena in front of 10,000 spectators and secured a new statistical personal best (PB) of 42.657 in the 500m. He ranked 42nd overall. In 2018, Peter had skated the same distance in 42.656 in Calgary but the statistics were wrong, according to the ULPV.
