Nuis took the title. He won the final 1000 meters in a time of 1.07.32. He thus replaced Scheperkamp, winner of the second 500 meters earlier in the day, at the top of the rankings. Scheperkamp (1.08.15, fifth) also saw Joep Wennemars pass, who set a personal record of 1.07.40. With this, Wennemars, with 5 hundredths of a second ahead of Scheperkamp, also grabbed the last ticket for the World Championship, in two weeks in Inzell.
