Wow, the women's 1500m world junior record was 1:55.14 since 10 years (Monday would be the 10-year anniversary of that record), by Marrit Leenstra....now Joy Beune went 1:54.21

Beune has now pushed Claudia Pechstein out of the 1500m all-time top-25  

 

She's 24th, right in front of Maki Tabata

I wouldn't interpret too much into it. Lea-Sophie Scholz broke the german junior record and at the world cup final a couple of days ago the german junior records in men's 500/1000/1500 m were broken on this track as well. I doubt that Scholz is better than Pechstein, Friesinger and so on were at the same age. Results at junior level are basically the same as at senior level, so no hope that the dutch dominance will end any time soon, sadly.

On the boy's side, the Dutch are not really dominant. After two distances, the best result is an 8th place on the 500m. They're currently ranked 8th, 9th and 15th in the allround standings after day 1.

That's true, i realized it too when having a closer look at the results. I think in men's 1500 m two german guys were ahead of the best dutch guy, that also doesn't happen very often. No reason to worry though, i think you have some great talentes already in that event, isn't Roest very young too? In men's 500/1000 m you have Dai Dai Ntab as well. On the men's side the biggest talents currently seem to come from South Korea and Norway (Johansson).
