Ghiotto - one of my favourite skaters - with his first World Cup win after a fantastic race in 12:45,10

 

16 years after Enrico Fabris won a 10k in the World Cup, it's been a while for Italy  

we had to wait for a day like today to win a non mass start race in speedskating...

 

by the way, amazing effort by Ghiotto.

Rijhnen continued racing for 10,400 m because the dumb stadium announcer convinced him to.

Damn, Bloemen with a 12:33 in the B division (starting with four instead of two, so that's an advantage, but still), third fastest time ever

Which then confused his opponent a bit later as well  

 

Oh well, better a lap too long than too short. It's not like he'd have gone more than half a second faster if he had started his final 'sprint' a lap earlier

 Eitrem just improved the track record of  Nils van der Poel. 

 

In the same pair, Ghiotto threw away the overall victory in the men's long distances World Cup by hindering Eitrem.
