Joy BEUNE (NED) | Winner | 3000m Women AllRound | Inzell 2024 | #SpeedSkating

Franscisco Lollobrigida on the inner lane representing Italy. 9th on the 500 meters against Joy Boerner from the Netherlands. In her first world championships around 10th on the 500 meters. And the world champion on the 5000 meter single distance a couple of weeks back in Calgary. As they start their number 10 on their way for their 3000 meter in this world championship all around. See the fast opening of Lollobrigida the 94 and the 20.14 Boerner. Good opening for her. Lollobrigida will most of the time start fast. She tries to keep the decay as little as possible throughout the race. Boerner starts slightly slower most of the time. Tries to keep the decay as little as possible. Maybe even accelerate a little bit towards the end as there are already some fast lap times. Especially by Boerner 29.7. She doesn't hold back early in this race. 30.34 Lollobrigida also a great lap time. The two fastest lap times up until now. This is now Boerner leading before Lollobrigida. Once again some great lap times. 30.1 for Boerner. 30.6 for Lollobrigida. Already almost three seconds on the current leader Harukawa from Japan. But Boerner did have a gap to Takagi on that 500 meters. She has to give it all in order to close that gap of nine seconds on this 3000 meters. We are on the 1400 meters. Boerner 30.5. Lollobrigida 30.9. So a very fast start for both women. Can they hold up? Because we are halfway this thousand meters. So three more laps to go. And now we knew the great laps from Takagi. As you see the live difference on the bottom right. Another great lap by Boerner. Very consistent throughout. 31.2 from Lollobrigida. Also very consistent. As the gap gets smaller and smaller to Takagi. Still a great speed from Boerner. She crosses over Lollobrigida. Has to do it all on her own. This tenth pair on the thousand meters. There's a difference. Sticks back now. 30.8. Without any decay in these laps. 31.9 Lollobrigida. Will come very close for her. About six seconds faster now than Harukawa from Japan. Boerner doing great effort. Great race here on the eyes of the Max Eicher Arena in Inzel. Still two seconds between Takagi and Boerner. As she moves into the last lap. 31.3. What will the time of her be? And what will the difference between Takagi and Boerner be? Let's see as Boerner puts in her final acceleration. All the way to the final inner corner. And also Lollobrigida scaling her great race. As Boerner now almost has made up the time between her and Takagi. Let's see what the time is. A 3.55.72. A great three second track record. That was set in 2019 by Martina Sablikova. Three seconds faster than the old track record. What a race from Boerner here on the eyes. And she takes over the lead in the general classification from Takagi. Didn't even look that fast. But so strong on the eyes here. She takes the track record and the lead in the general classification.
