Women 500m 1.000m 1.500m 3.000m 5.000m 01. Julie Nistad Samsonsen [20] Ida Njåtun [29]  Ida Njåtun [29] Ragne Wiklund [20] Ragne Wiklund [20] 02. Martine Ripsrud [25] Ragne Wiklund [20] Ragne Wiklund [20] Ida Njåtun [29] Sofie Karoline Haugen [25] 03. Carina Jagtøyen [22] Martine Ripsrud [25] Sofie Karoline Haugen [25] Sofie Karoline Haugen [25] Marit Fjellanger Bøhm [32] Men 500m 1.000m 1.500m 5.000m 10.000m 01. Håvard Holmefjord Lorentzen [28] Håvard Holmefjord Lorentzen [28] Allan Dahl Johansson [22] Hallgeir Engebråten [20] Hallgeir Engebråten [20] 02. Bjørn Magnussen [22] Odin By Farstad [22] Peder Kongshaug [19] Sindre Henriksen [28] Allan Dahl Johansson [22] 03. Odin By Farstad [22] Allan Dahl Johansson [22] Sindre Henriksen [28] Allan Dahl Johansson [22] Sander Tveter [21] None of the winning times on the women's side were impressive. On the men's side, the times were slightly better, though not world level.  Let's hope Ragne Wiklund can make some progress this year after her progress stalled last season, because she is the one who needs to carry women's speed skating in Norway over the next years as there are no signs of solid junior skatings coming through over the next years. Sverre Lunde Pedersen (World Champion 5.000m in 2019, Olympic Champion Team Pursuit in Pyeongchang) withdrew, not sure if this is related to COVID-19. Peder Kongshaug, the Junior World Champion on the 1.000m, just missed out on the podium on multiple distances, but is still a junior and skated times that would be good enough to add at least one more world title this season if the championships are to be held. With three neo-seniors, this must be one of the youngest podiums ever on the 10.000 meter, a distance usually not skated at junior tournaments, though Tveter skated a time above 14 minutes and Engebråten was the only skater with a somewhat competitive time of. 13.28,73. Øystein Grødum [43] who finished 4th at the World Championships in 2008, finished in 5th place.

Women 500m 1.000m 1.500m 3.000m 01. Hanna Nifantava [21] Ekaterina Sloeva [21] Marina Zueva [28] Marina Zueva [28] 02. Ekaterina Sloeva [21] Hanna Nifantava [21] Ekaterina Sloeva [21] Ekaterina Sloeva [21] 03. Yauheniya Varabyeva [22] Marina Zueva [28] Tatsiana Mikhailava [33] Anna Kovaleva [21] Men 500m 1.000m 1.500m 5.000m 01. Ignat Golovatsiuk [23]
Ignat Golovatsiuk [23] Ignat Golovatsiuk [23] Yahor Damaratski [20] 02. Victor Rudenko [22] Uladzislau Zapoikin [21] Yahor Damaratski [20] Yauheni Bolhau [22] 03. Artsiom Chaban [26] Victor Rudenko [22] Yauheni Bolhau [22] Aliaksei Kirpichnik [23] Ekaterina Sloeva used to represent Russia, but only took part in competitions in Belarus, so it makes sense she switched her nationality. She is by far the most surprising skater here. Again, no competitive times, even Zueva who can be world class on a good day, didn't show any impressive form. Zueva, Nifantava and perhaps Sloeva are the three that I keep my eye on for qualification for Beijing 2022. Ignat Golovatsiuk remains the only male skater from Belarus to post times good enough to qualify for the Olympics. No women's 5.000m or men's 10.000m were held.

Women 500m 1.000m 1.500m 3.000m 5.000m 01. Olga Fatkulina [30] Olga Fatkulina [30] Evgeniia Lalenkova [30] Natalia Voronina [26] Natalia Voronina [26] 02. Angelina Golikova [29] Daria Kachanova [23] Elizaveta Golubeva [24] Evgeniia Lalenkova [30] Evgeniia Lalenkova [30] 03. Daria Kachanova [23] Elizaveta Golubeva [24] Natalia Voronina [26] Elizaveta Golubeva [24] Elena Sokhryakova [29] Men 500m 1.000m 1.500m 5.000m 10.000m 01. Ruslan Murashov [27] Viktor Mushtakov [23] Sergey Trofimov [25]

Voronina (WR holder 5.000m and reigning World Champion) skated a 6.56 on the 5.000m which is impressive for this time of year.  Elizaveta Golubeva is the new name of Elizaveta Kazelina. That means all of the women's podiums are more or less the names you would expect there based on previous season(s).  Aldoshkin coming close to winning the title in the men's 1.500m is the biggest surprise for me. However, Yuskov did not take part in these championships. Neither did Kulizhnikov (WR holder 500m and 1.000m), which resulted in only 1 impressive time on the sprint distances: 34,80 by Murashov on the 500m in Kolomna, which is not considered to be a very fast track. Rumyantsev won the 10k in a 13.09, which is very solid for this time of year.

Women 500m 1.000m 1.500m 3.000m 5.000m 01. Karolina Bosiek [20] Karolina Bosiek [20] Natalia Czerwonka [32] Magdalena Czyszczon [25] Magdalena Czyszczon [25] 02. Kaja Ziomek [23] Natalia Czerwonka [32] Karolina Bosiek [20]

Piotr Michalski [26] Marcin Bachanek [24] Szymon Palka [23] Patryk Wójcik [30] Marcin Bachanek [24] On the women's side, all medals were won by only 7 different skaters, none of them in impressive times. This shows the lack of depth in Polish speed skating at the moment, though you see in the junior categories that they are on the rise. Bosiek will have to carry Polish speedskating over the next years though waiting for the juniors to come through. Jabrzyk looks impressive with a bronze as a 19-year old, but her time is more than 1 minute slower than the time Antoinette de Jong skated today at the Dutch national championships which earned her a 7th place. The Polish men also weren't that impressive and are missing a clear star skater that could carry the Polish team. However, Szymon Wojtakowski finished top 10 in multiple distances. He's a 15 year old and therefore junior for 4 more seasons, and is probably the best skater worldwide in his age category. He won the Vikingrace (unofficial European Championships for juniors per age category) in his category last season by obliterating all the other skaters in every single distance. The Vikingrace has been won by many Can't wait to see what he'll be capable of in a couple of years.

Women 500m 1.000m 1.500m 3.000m 5.000m 01. Femke Kok [20] Jutta Leerdam [21] Jorien ter Mors [30] Irene Schouten [28] Irene Schouten [28] 02.

Kai Verbij [26] Kjeld Nuis [30] Wesly Dijs [25] Marcel Bosker [23] Marcel Bosker [23] These are the first national titles for Irene Schouten on more traditional distances (7x national champion on the mass start) + a world leading time on the 5.000m. Olympic Champion Esmee Visser just missed out on the podium on the 5.000m. Ireen Wust has now won 41 medals at the national championships per distance. She has won at least one medal at each national championship since 2006. Femke Kok won her first of many national titles, standing on top of what must be the youngest podium ever at a Dutch national championship. The fact that Kjeld Nuis made the podium on the men's 1.000m is quite impressive after just getting out of a two-week quarantine. Jorrit Bergsma skated the fastest time on the 10.000m (0,3 seconds ahead of Talsma), but got disqualified for hindering Talsma on the change-over. The winning times on the men's 1.000m, 1.500m, 5.000m and 10.000m are currently the world leading times this season.

What makes you think that? Williamson is a well known and common Japanese surname.

So basically no international ISU races before 2021, but in Heerenveen they were racing today and Femke Kok was fast, fastest time ever by a Dutchwoman in Thialf.

I'm a big fan of statistics and I've decided to compile an unofficial world ranking based on the best four times skated per distance over the past 12 months (or 24 months for women's 5k and men's 10k), adjusted for the track they're skating on. I know most people won't care, but it's just a fun project for myself. If there's one place where others potentially might be interested, it would be here. This is what the top 10 per distance looks like right now before the start of the new season:

Thanks man! I'm doing great. In total I was sick for about 5 days, 3 of which I felt very ill with a high fever and afterwards I lost my taste and my smell, which was a strange experience but nothing bad.
 
Hope everyone here is still healthy and manages to keep their spirits up.

@Dennis Just wanted to catch up with you and hear how you’re doing.

Unfortunately I got infected through my roommate who came back from Austria about 1,5 week ago after the town he visited got quarantined due to a Corona outbreak. He and all of his friends he went on the trip with all got sick after returning to the Netherlands. Fortunately, my roommate has already recovered in full and I'm slowly recovering as well, and luckily we both only had mild symptoms. However, I've been locked inside with my roommate for more than a full week now and I'm already slowly going crazy. We can't even go outside to buy groceries or medication and have to rely on friends and family to drop that off at the door. Although I'm very thankful for everyone's support, I can't wait to go outside again in a few days when I'm fully recovered, even if it's only a 5-minute walk to the nearest supermarket.

Hahaha, don't have much of a choice with these housing prices here in Amsterdam.
 
That's right!  He's a nice guy. He asked me if it was okay that he would come back to Amsterdam as his mother had cancer not that long ago and staying with her would be a higher risk than staying with me. We tried everything we could to keep the virus contained by for example having him only stay in his bedroom and me providing him with food by leaving it in front of his doorstep, but to no avail.
 
 
I can't wait. Thanks for the support!

Fortunately, my roommate has already recovered in full and I'm slowly recovering as well, and luckily we both only had mild symptoms. However, I've been locked inside with my roommate for more than a full week now and I'm already slowly going crazy. We can't even go outside to buy groceries or medication and have to rely on friends and family to drop that off at the door. Although I'm very thankful for everyone's support, I can't wait to go outside again in a few days when I'm fully recovered, even if it's only a 5-minute walk to the nearest supermarket.
