Irene Wust of the Netherlands powers to win gold and set a new world record in the women’s 1500m speed skating. Japan’s Nao Kodaira has what it takes to post a world record time of 1:58.20 early on but the ice is fast and Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic clocks a time of 1:57.96, only to be bettered by Canadian Kristina Groves with 1:57.14. In the last grouping, Wust lays down the final world record of the day - a time of 1:56.89.
