Clear victory for Van Deutekom. Wüst disappointing, but secured her WC ticket because of her protected status. No WC 1000 for Marianne Timmer! Very good...

1: Kleven is never in form in October (though can not be selected). 36.0 on that ice (few PBs among the girls) is exceptional. No one else will be sent to the...
