Richard's Story
Richard Goerlitz made his Olympic debut at the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games. Goerlitz was part of the 5000m Short Track Relay team that was fourth in the B Final – eighth overall.
Four years later, Goerlitz secured three individual quotas for Australia (500m, 1000m, 1500m) in the lead up to the 2002 Games at Salt Lake City, but unfortunately was unable to compete after sustaining Tibialis Anterior Tendonitis before the Games.
Goerlitz then switched to the Long Track form of Speed Skating, competing at a World Cup level and coming close to qualifying for the Torino 2006 and Vancouver 2010 Games.
