Jutta Leerdam won the European title in the 1000 meters for the third time in a row. Kjeld Nuis narrowly missed out on gold in the 1500 meters. In the team pursuit for women, the Netherlands won with Irene Schouten, Marijke Groenewoud and Joy Beune in the fifth fastest time ever. Groenewoud also took the title in the mass start, Schouten took silver. Read here again how the day went in a sold-out Thialf.
