National Final! ING Speed Skating Challenge

Here is the latest letter from Catriona Le May Doan. (The bold is my own!)

Dear Friends of Speed Skating,

Over the course of this year's ING Speed Skating Challenge, we've been introduced to 16 wonderful video stories from across the country that remind us why we love the sport and how we’ve become a great speed skating nation.

And, we couldn’t have asked for two more inspiring and heartfelt stories to emerge in our National Final: Tori Spence's "Owen’s Oval" and Scott MacHattie's "Speed Skating: the Inclusive Sport."

I'm excited to announce that CBC has decided to feature both stories in a special segment during their national broadcast of the World Single Distance Championships, airing this Saturday, March 21, at 2pm EST.

With only two days remaining and a tight race between the Finalists, this is your last chance to vote for your favorite video story.

Will Canada's best speed skating story be Tori Spence or Scott MacHattie?

The final voting deadline is Friday March 20, 2009 at 12 Midnight MST.

Canada's Best Speed Skating Story will be crowned on Saturday March 21, 2009 at this year’s ING Video Awards Party in Calgary.

Stay tuned to your email to learn who will win the second annual ING Speed Skating Challenge!
