Takagi breaks magic barrier in ISU Speed Skating World Cup Final

World records got another pounding on the final day of the International Skating Union (ISU) Speed Skating World Cup Final in Salt Lake City as Kjeld Nuis of The Netherlands added a new men's 1,500 metres mark of 1min 40.17sec to the 1,000m record he had set the day before, and Japan's Miho Takagi became the first woman to break the magic 1:50 barrier in the Ladies' 1,500m.
