U.S. sets men's 5,000m relay world record in Shanghai

The U.S. men's team of Keith Carroll Jr., J.R. Celski, Thomas Hong and John-Henry Krueger sat back in the pack until a collision between Canada and China took both countries out of the race.

Celski passed South Korea's skater on the inside on the final corner to seal gold by .024 of a second. "It feels great to win as a team and to do it together," Celski said.

Russia are the reigning Olympic champions in the 5,000m relay, having won gold in Sochi ahead of the U.S.
