Gluttonous splendid Bronze in 10,000 of the encore by Nils van der Poel

The Ice Ribbon of Beijing crowns the Swedish Nils Van der Poel who sets a world record on the day of Davide Ghiotto's Bronze medal and Michele Malfatti's ninth place.

It is the Dutch Patrick Roest, disappointed Silver in the 5000 meters who set the best time (12.44.59) in the first part of the competition session, dragging the blue Michele Malfatti, who stops the chronometers on 13.01.42, an improvement of 11 seconds over the staff established in Stavanger this season. After the makeover of the ice, Jorrit Bergsma, Gold in Sochi 2014 and Silver in PyeongChang 2018 on the distance, is ahead for the first five kilometers over his compatriot then he has to bow to the final crescendo of his compatriot and settles in second place in the provisional ranking with 12.48.94. The ranking is overturned by the couple formed by Nils van der Poel and Davide Ghiotto: the Swede, Gold of the 5000 meters, beats his world record with 12-3074 while the blue, with 12.45.98, gives only one second and middle of Roest and is on the virtual podium when only Ted-Jan Bloemen and Bart Swings are missing. The Canadian, outgoing Olympic champion, worries the blue only in the first half of his test and then gives in and closes very far in eighth position Gold for Nils van der Poel, Silver for the Dutch Patrick Roest and a splendid Bronze for Davide Ghiotto. Ninth place for Michele Malfatti
