Women
Source: www.schaatsen.nl & SchaatsStatistieken.nl Notes: 500m Boer surprised Timmer by unexpectedly winning both races overtaking all the favourites with a fair distance. Gerritsen who had the best pre-season disappointed. 1000m Wüst successfully defended her title beating her opponents with a huge difference and a track record. 1500m Wüst became Queen of the Championships with her third title. She finished way ahead of the other competitors, from who Renate Groenewold turned out to be the best. 3000m Groenewold beats defending and 2006 Winter Olympics champion Wüst by less than a second, but in a new track record. 5000m Smit took revenge on her weak 3000 m earlier in the week while the top-3 of that distance didn't participate in the 5000 m. Defending champion Kleibeuker won the bronze.
