Tomorrow, the ladies will skate the 1000m. Among the favorites is Ireen Wüst (NED), winner of the 3000m. She will race in the pre-last pair, with Brittany Bowe (USA). In the final pair Lotte van Beek (NED) faces Sang-Hwa Lee (KOR), the 500m champion.
Also 500m-silver winner and world champion on the 1000m Olga Fatkulina (RUS) is a strong candidate for gold, as well as Heather Richardson (USA). Russian skaters all perform strongly at home and therefore Julia Skokova and Yekaterina Shikhova should not be overlooked. Other contenders are Margot Boer (NED), Marrit Leenstra (NED) or Hong Zhang (CHN).
