NK skating 2020: Femke Kok versus Jutta Leerdam
500 meter sprint at the ladies
Femke Kok convinces
The Dutch Distances Championship is one of the few skating races that will take place this season. Last weekend it took place in Thialf, Heerenveen.
Last season prevailed Jutta Leerdam still at the sprint distances. However, the young Femke Kok was already convincing at that time. Shortly before the tournament Kok had to quarantine (with her team). The coronavirus threatened to throw soot in the food even here.
But if you look at the numbers, a sounding victory is noted. Leerdam, last year's champion, was ridden off the track twice in a row. With a double 37.88 on the 500 meters, the fast accuracy of Femke Kok was more than decisive.
No, the coronavirus couldn't get Femke Kok off her head either. Although the virus has its influence in many aspects of course, its focus now brings her the victory, the title, the coveted golden plaque.
