Surprising gold medal for  Joy Beune who had big doubts whether she should start here as the 1.500m that will be skated in about 3 hours from now is her favorite distance that she won in Quebec during the last World Cup weekend of the season.
 
Silver for the big favorite  Irene Schouten and bronze for the legend  Martina Sáblíková

The same goes for  in front of their home crowd and  showed under their new trainer that they're making great progress. Team  is also improving towards the World Championships. 
 
 had a poor showing, but that was expected with their senior team all competing in the Chinese National Winter Games,  started the season off great in Montréal but in hindsight that seems to have been a positive outlier and  also had their poorest showing of the season as well.
