Wust grabbed her second title in two days, leading a Dutch medal sweep in the 1,500. Wust won the 3,000 on Thursday. Diane Valkenburg was second and Jorien Voorhuis third.

There was another victory for the Netherlands when Bob de Jong took the 5,000. The World Cup champion was more than two seconds ahead of Olympic champion Lee Seung-hoon of South Korea. Ivan Skobrev of Russia took the bronze.
