They have only two women in their national team, one of whom could not start today (Tineke den Dulk). I do not know why she could not start.

These are also the standings in the women's Crystal Globe after 2/6 weekends. The gaps between the three are very close.

 

On the other hand, we have  William Dandjinou in a league of his own in the men's Crystal Globe standings before  Pietro Sighel and  Jens van 't Wout

I'm afraid that at such a high level Fontana will have a hard time individually winning any medal in 2026. She has a great start in the 500 meters, but she loses over the distance and it's hard for her to stay on the podium. In the 500 meters, with this form, Velzeboer is out of reach, because she leads from start to finish. However, over longer distances the competition is even greater, even though there is no dominant competitor. I don't have the impression that Fontana is capable of rising to such a level as to fight for medals individually, although of course one can always count on falls and dsq in the top.
