The International Skating Union decided last year to stage all the events in Heerenveen to form a bubble for skaters and officials in the international competitions. In the final of the four events, Irene Schouten took gold in the 5 km – a first for a Dutch woman – while Antoinette de Jong won gold in the 3km.  In the men’s event Kai Verbij took the 1,000 metre title and Thomas Krol the 1,500 metres.
