Ice sprinter Dombek makes a comeback and starts at the European Championships

Sprinter Hendrik Dombek made a successful comeback after recovering from a muscle injury. The 27-year-old won both the 500 meters and the 1,000 meters in qualifying for the European Speed ​​Skating Championships and the upcoming World Cups in Erfurt. The German champion from Munich won the short sprint course in 35.86 seconds and the double distance in 1:09.95 minutes.
