sport">Verbij had driven 1.08.68 in an earlier stage. Nuis seemed to get very close in a direct duel with Krol in the final stage on the last lap, but had to let his compatriot go ahead. He himself came to 1.08.74.
sport">Hein Otterspeer, who won the first World Cup race in Poland last week, came to 1.08.95 in a messy race. He finished eighth. Merijn Scheperkamp was nineteenth with 1.10.27.
Schouten also skates to victory at 5000 meters in Stavanger
sport">Irene Schouten has also shown in Stavanger that she is currently the best in the long distances. The 29-year-old from North Holland won the 5000 meters on the skating rink in Norway in a new track record of 6.52.83 minutes. Canadian Isabelle Weideman took silver with 6.54.95. The bronze went to the Norwegian Ragne Wiklund with 6.56.46.
sport">Antoinette de Jong was seventh with a time of 7.05.23. Joy Beune came to 7.10.37 and finished eleventh and penultimate.
sport">Schouten was already the best in the 3000 meters last week with a declining schedule, when she overtook Antoinette de Jong with two fast final laps. In the stage against Weideman in the 5000 meters, Schouten immediately took a small lead and she held on to that margin. However, the Canadian stayed close to Team Zaanlander’s skater in lap times, but missed the advantage of diving behind her opponent’s back at the intersection. Schouten increased the margin with a lightning-fast final round of 31.9.
sport">In the B-division earlier in the day, Carlijn Achtereekte had set the best time. The Olympic champion in the 3000 meters of 2018 came to a time of 7.01.91. Sanne in ‘t Hof finished second with 7.03.85.
Brittany Bowe rules
sport">At the second World Cup of the season, Brittany Bowe once again won the 1000 meters. This time she covered kilometers in a track record of 1.14.19. The American stayed ahead of the Japanese Miho Takagi and Nao Kodaira. Jutta Leerdam was the best Dutch with a fourth place.

sport">For Leerdam (1.15,22) it looked good for a long time, but in the last half lap the Dutchman seemed to stop a bit. The Japanese Miho Takagi even rushed past her at the last minute. Ireen Wüst’s race actually went exactly the other way around. She did not start perfectly and despite a good final lap she did not come close to the top places, finishing ninth.
sport">The third Dutch, Femke Kok, did not have a good race and ended up in the rear with a seventeenth place.
