Last week Bart Swings won the bronze medal in the 1st World Cup sector, today the European champion did 1 color better at the mass start. Only the Dutch world champion Jorrit Bergsma had to tolerate our fellow countryman.
The experienced Bergsma had escaped and came in alone in 7’43 “470, Swings was 1.5 seconds later the fastest of 7 chasers. He finished in 7’45” 080. The Swiss Livio Wenger (7’45 “210) was 3rd, last week he was 2nd, when another Dutchman won with Arjan Stroetinga.
16 skaters took part in the final. With his bronze and silver Swings pocketed the World Cup in the discipline, ahead of Wenger and Bergsma.
There are only 2 World Cup sleeves in this Corona season. There were also WB points to be earned in the semi-finals.
