Octoberfest Competition, tomorrow

I am skating the 1500m tomorrow morning around 9.30 Calgary time:)
Saturday I will skate the 500m.

The Olympic Oval might put up the results right away. Or else after the competition is done for the day. They have put the wrong datum of the event but it is still the "Octoberfest Short track competition".
