Maaike Verweij wins first marathon on natural ice | To skate

About halfway through, the field was pulled apart for the first time. There was a large leading group, but because the cooperation was lacking, the peloton returned. The smaller groups also did not stay ahead, after which they sprinted. Verweij positioned himself excellently in the final phase and was the first to enter the last corner. She never gave up her lead on the straight.

It was not until Sunday afternoon that it was announced that the marathon could be run. Initially, it was intended that women would skate 80 laps and the men 125 laps. Nevertheless, it was eventually decided to stick to 60 and 100 laps respectively. The men only come into action later.
