Less than a week off the plane, Zach and Evelyn are both Australian National Champions. They each won skate races Saturday at Falls Creek. Evelyn followed that up with another win in the classic (!) race on Sunday, while Zach finished third behind Viktor Novotny (he’s not Australian either) and Ben Sim. Hopefully those two will find a little more internet and give us a first-hand report, but until then, congratulations are in order.

We’re hoping for more podiums at the Hoppet.
