Gold Schulting World Cup 1500 meters Skating

After a race, Canadian Courtney Lee Sarault made her final sprint. With extreme effort, Schulting managed to push his skate over the finish line first. Russia's Ekaterina Efremenkova finished third.

Earlier on Saturday, Yara van Kerkhof had won silver at 500 meters. The Dutch skater, good for the Olympic silver medal in the 500 meters earlier this year in South Korea, was in second place behind the Polish winner Natalia Maliszewska. Canadian Alyson Charles won bronze.

Van Kerkhof received good news from Montreal a week ago. The World Anti-Doping Agency, WADA, announced that its appeal had been withdrawn by the International Sport Tribunal. As a result, it no longer has to fear penalties for abnormal blood values, resulting in particular from a congenital heart defect. Van Kerkhof, very pleased with the decision of the AMA, seems liberated and overflowing with energy at the start in Calgary

Itzhak de Laat is eliminated in the semifinals of the 500 meters. Newcomer Jasper Brunsmann was killed in the quarterfinals. Daan Breeuwsma failed in the second leg.

Sjinkie Knegt was penalized by a 1,500-meter semi-final penalty for overturning a South Korean opponent. Frisian himself has also descended. Earlier this year, he won Olympic silver at this winter's Olympic Games. Friso Emons had to settle for a final B performance in Calgary due to a fall out of his fault.
