SHEFFIELD, England (AP) — American speedskater Katherine Reutter won the silver medal in the women’s overall competition at the World Short Track Championships on Sunday.
Reutter came in second in the 3,000 meters, the final race of the three-day championships, to finish as the runner-up in the overall classification behind Cho Ha-ri of South Korea.
A fall in the final of the 1,000 earlier Sunday ultimately cost Reutter’s chances of a gold medal. The skater tripped on a lane block in the seventh of nine laps and finished third.
Reutter had opened up with a victory in the 1,500 on Friday, when she became the first U.S. woman since Bonnie Blair in 1986 to win a world title.
