Jens van ‘t Wout qualified for the final without any problems, being the fastest in the second semi-final. By the quarter-finals, the youngest Van ‘t Wout had also proven to be the fastest. He was joined by his older brother Melle van ‘t Wout and Teun Boer in the final.
For the 24-year-old short tracker from Laren, the final turned out differently than hoped. Steven Dubois quickly took the lead, but Melle van ‘t Wout stayed in the Canadian’s wake. He took his first medal of these Games with the silver medal.
