On the women’s side, Olympic champion Irene Schouten and title defender Marijke Groenewoud will take part in the mass start. The two AH-Zaanlander skaters were absent in the last World Cup competition in Poland.
Ritsma selected Patrick Roest, Marcel Bosker and Beau Snellink for the team pursuit. The same trio won gold in that game at the 2021 World Cup. Groenewoud, Schouten and Joy Beune are competing in the women’s team pursuit. The Netherlands are also the defending champions here.
Merijn Scheperkamp, Hein Otterspeer and Wesly Dijs participate in the team sprint. Michelle de Jong, Marrit Fledderus and Isabel Grevelt skate the women’s section.
