SOCHI, Russia \u2014 Canadian speedskater Denny Morrison has won a bronze medal in the men\u2019s 1,500 metres at the Sochi Olympics.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the Fort St. John, B.C., native\u2019s second medal of the Games after he won silver in the 1,000.<\/p>\n

Morrison finished in one minute 45.22 seconds while Poland\u2019s Zbigniew Brodka won gold in 1:45.006. Koen Verweij of the Netherlands missed the gold by a hair, finishing second in 1:45.009.<\/p>\n

Both medals were a surprise for Morrison, who wasn\u2019t expected to contend for the podium in the individual events.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old finished 11th in the 1,500 at the 2006 Turin Games before settling for ninth four years ago in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

But Morrison has since showed signs of improvement in the distance, most notably with a first-place finish at the 2012 world single distances championships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
