Dutch top at the European Championships in Klobenstein even without Sven Kramer

After the first two routes, the Dutchman Jan Blockhuijsen leads with 75,551 points ahead of his compatriot Koen Verweij (75,609) and the Russian Iwan Skobrew (75,671). The Italian Enrico Fabris has little chance of winning a medal after two routes in ninth place with 77,536 points.

With second and third place in the 500 meters, the two young Dutchmen, Jan Blockhuijsen (born in 1989) in second place in 36,33 seconds and Koen Verweij (born in 1990) in third place in 36,56 seconds, have an excellent place for the rest of the European Championships Starting position provided. Only the Polish short-distance specialist Konrad Niedzwiedzki (36,04) was better than the two Dutchmen. The Norwegian title contender Havard Bökko took fifth place in the 36,65 meters in 500 seconds, closely followed by the Russian title contender Ivan Skobrew (36,67). The Italian Enrico Fabris only finished eleventh over 500 meters in 37,23 seconds.

The Russian Ivan Skobrew was the fastest in the 5000 meters in 6.30,01:6.30,49 minutes. The Dutch Verwej (6.31,14), Wouter olde Heuvel (6.32,21) and Blokhuijsen (6.32,70) took second to fourth place.

The Italian lost 5000 seconds to the course winner Skobrew. “I gave my best over 5000 meters. After recently recovering from the flu, I lacked the necessary fitness over 500 meters to be able to compete against such opponents," said Enrico Fabris, apologizing for his big deficit over XNUMX meters. “I’m pretty happy with my XNUMX-meter time,” said Fabris.

Around 1000 spectators watched the first two men's races at the European Championships in the stands. The ice wasn't particularly fast because of the high humidity. The Dutchman Sven Kramer's “outdoor world record” over 5000 meters was clearly missed by 15 seconds. Yesterday, 29 men from 18 countries competed in the 500 and 5000 meters at the European All-Around Championships in Klobenstein.

The European Championships will continue tomorrow at 12 p.m. with the women's 500 meter race. This will be followed by the men's 1500 meters. The second day of competition ends tomorrow with the women's 3000 meter race.
