In the heat of battle, I think the skater probably just panicked a little. The coach was yelling at him and given the situation, the fatigue, and the nerves, he just reacted without thinking. I don't blame him really, but it is strange that he's famous for being an awesome, experienced, world-class skater and, for whatever reason, he simply doesn't skate the lanes correctly in the biggest race of his life. Weird.
