The Junior World Championships showed that there's solid potential in a lot of countries.

 

• Countries that had at least one top 10-finish in the classical distances:
• , ,  and  have a realistic chance to finish top 10 in the mass start tomorrow.
•  and  did not take part due to COVID-restrictions.

 

So the future looks very bright in my eyes for international speed skating.

 

Some outstanding results:

 

•  Wiktoria Dabrowska is still a junior for four more seasons after this one and already finished top 8 in the girls' 500m and even top 5 in the girls' 1.000m. She's at least 2 years younger than anyone else who made top 10 on both the girls' side. 
•  Sigurd Hunriksen is still a junior for two more seasons and finished almost 8 seconds ahead of the #2 in the boys' 5.000m. 
• This must be the first international championships ever where  had a top-10 finish on both the girls' and boys' side.

Danila Semerikov (part of a Dutch team) had some interesting clothes during the open Dutch marathon championships in Sweden this weekend  According to himself, those are just his normal clothes...

 

 

Meanwhile in beautiful (for now) Baselga, Davide Ghiotto set the 10k track record at 13:25 minutes Saturday. That had been held at 13:38 by Bart Veldkamp, who with that race almost managed to take the European allround title from Dmitry Shepel in 2001  Good times
