It would be a surprise, but don’t underestimate the Dutch when it comes to messing up an important game.

What would the world rankings look like if beats 3-0 and loses to 0-3? Wouldn’t Canada then still pass the Netherlands? The gap was small between both teams before this match and is much higher rated than .

4 relay medals for during these championships But was in a league of their own

Wow, 48.98

What a joke

The we should add and to the gold medal as well

Only one gold for , the best short track speed skating nation in the world. Just 5 years ago, they won 7 gold (4 silver and 1 bronze). This is the lowest number of gold medals for South Korea since 2001 when they won zero in Jeonju (when China won 9 gold medals).

Men's 5.000m Relay: Gold: China Silver: South Korea Bronze: Poland China dominating the men's tournament and winning the medal table with their 4th gold medal, surprising bronze for Poland

Women's 3.000m Relay: Gold: the Netherlands Silver: the United States of America Bronze: Canada 5th medal for Santos in 5 events

Very strong championships for them and still one more opportunity to medal in the women's relay

Mixed 2.000m Relay: Gold: China Silver: Italy Bronze: the United States of America 3rd gold medal for these championships

Bad tournament at home for the Dutch

Men's 1.000m: Gold: William Dandjinou Silver: Pietro Sighel Bronze: Luca Spechenhauser

Just like in the men's 1.500m final, Park and Hwang hinder each other when they're skating in first and second place in the A final and again no medals for them.

Women's 1.000m: Gold: Kristen Santos-Griswald Silver: Kim Gilli Bronze: Arianna Fontana Santos-Griswold completes the set after her silver medal on the 1.500m and her bronze medal yesterday on the 500m. She also finished first in the 1.000m world cup final standings this season, right before Kim Gilli. I think this is Fontana's 18th World Championship medal, after already winning 11 Olympic medals and 76 World Cup medals. What a legend!

Schulting doesn't finish after the restart as she's injured, which is tough right before the relay finals as well

A restart after Desmet received a penalty Some of the skaters that fell look slightly injured, so I think this opens the possibilities for Fontana

In the women's 1.000m final, 3 of the 5 skaters ( Kim, Santos-Griswold and Schulting) fell together. Desmet finishes in first place, Fontana in second, Schulting gets up first and finishes in third, but no way these will be the final standings.

Women's 500m: Gold: Kim Boutin Silver: Xandra Velzeboer Bronze: Kristen Santos-Griswold Men's 500m: Gold: Lin Xiaojun Silver: Denis Nikisha Bronze: Jordan Pierre-GIlles

Men's 1.500m: Gold: Sun Long Silver: Jens van 't Wout Bronze: Brendan Corey Hwang Daeheon initially finished first, but hindered his compatriot Park Ji Won, eliminating both when riding in first and second during the race Very surprising podium with Sun (World Ranking: 20th), van 't Wout (26th) and Corey (29th)!

Women's 1.500m: Gold: Kim Gilli Silver: Kristen Santos-Griswold Bronze: Corinne Stoddard Hanne Desmet crossed the finish line in second place but hindered Santos-Griswold prior to that and received a penalty.
