Wennemars, who had been disqualified from the 500 m, took the first win for the hosts. In the last pair, Shani Davis met Olympic champion Italian Enrico Fabris, and the two prevented the Dutch from finishing with the top four spots.
November 11, 2006Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands1000 mSouth Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk1:09.01Netherlands Beorn Nijenhuis1:09.21Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:09.37
Lee, 17th in the 2006 World Cup, won Korea's second victory in this Heerenveen weekend. After Lee had finished, five Dutchmen attacked his time, but failed to beat the Korean, though all finished in the top 13. Olympic champion Davis finished out of the podium, 0.01 of a second behind Wennemars.
November 11, 2006Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands5000 mNetherlands Sven Kramer6:16.64Netherlands Carl Verheijen6:18.81Norway Eskil Ervik6:20.46
Kramer and Ervik in the 13th of the 15 pairs set the pace, taking first and second position in the race. Verheijen then skated alone in the 14th pair, as Olympic champion and defending long distance World Cup holder Chad Hedrick withdrew, and though he was never ahead of Kramer he passed Ervik's lap times on the penultimate lap and eventually finished second. In the last pair, neither Enrico Fabris nor Arne Dankers were ever ahead of third-place finisher Ervik.
November 12, 2006Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands500 mJapan Keiichiro Nagashima35.24South Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk35.31Finland Pekka Koskela35.40
American Tucker Fredricks set the pace in the 12th of 16 pairs, skating in 35.47 and taking a lead of 0.33 seconds. Three pairs later, Koskela bettered that time, beating Lee Kang-seok of Korea on the final stretch to finish 0.05 seconds ahead of his pairmate and 0.07 seconds ahead of Fredricks. However, Nagashima took his second World Cup win in three days, despite skating 0.14 seconds slower than in Friday's race, and pairmate Lee Kyou-hyuk couldn't quite catch up with the deficit he gave away in the opening 100 metres.
November 12, 2006Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands1000 mUnited States Shani Davis1:09.17South Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk1:09.26Canada Denny Morrison1:09.35
Morrison, who placed 11th in the first race, took the lead after pipping Yevgeniy Lalenkov by around a quarter of a second on the final lap. His time then stood until the second last pair, where Olympic champion Shani Davis came up with an even better finishing lap after having skated the first 600 metres at an identical pace. Davis' pairmate Nijenhuis, third in the first race, was ahead with a lap to go but finished 14th after a last lap almost two seconds worse than Davis due to an instability in one of the corners. In the final pair, Lee had eight tenths of a second on Davis before the final lap, but lost by 0.09 in goal.
November 17, 2006Germany Berlin, Germany500 mSouth Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk35.08South Korea Lee Kang-seok35.21United States Tucker Fredricks35.27
In the eighth pair, Lee Kyou-hyuk came up with the fastest time on the World Cup circuit this season, enough to secure his fifth career World Cup race win. Though he started slowly, a tenth behind pairmate Yu Fengtong, his last lap was ahead of any others, and no one else could hold on to their advantage. Fredricks placed on the podium for the first time in two seasons, but Keiichiro Nagashima of Japan held on to his overall World Cup lead after finishing fourth.
November 17, 2006Germany Berlin, Germany5000 mNetherlands Sven Kramer6:09.76Netherlands Carl Verheijen6:16.49Norway Eskil Ervik6:17.32
Kramer's time was at the time the fourth fastest ever recorded on the distance, just under a second slower than his own world record from Utah Olympic Oval. All laps were completed below 30 seconds, and his victory was by far the largest in terms of samalog points thus far in the season. Like in Heerenveen, Verheijen sneaked past Ervik's times on the final lap, after being 0.27 seconds down after 4600 metres.
November 18, 2006Germany Berlin, Germany500 mFinland Pekka Koskela35.02South Korea Lee Kang-seok35.05South Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk35.07
Koskela's second World Cup victory, and his time was the fastest in the World Cup this season. The two Koreans faced each other in the last pair, but finished just behind Koskela's time. Lee Kyou-hyuk took over from Nagashima as leader of the overall standings on the 500 metres.
November 18, 2006Germany Berlin, Germany1500 mItaly Enrico Fabris1:45.54Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:45.64United States Shani Davis1:45.98
Fabris and Wennemars faced off in the eighth pair, and Wennemars earned a lead of 1.43 seconds after 700 metres. However, Fabris cut the lead slightly on the third lap, before finishing with a final lap of 27.48 seconds to cross the line a tenth of a second before pairmate Wennemars. In the next two pairs, only Davis was within a second of Fabris and Wennemars, as he skated faster than Wennemars on the final lap, but couldn't quite catch up.
November 19, 2006Germany Berlin, Germany1000 mNetherlands Erben Wennemars1:08.88South Korea Mun Jun1:09.33South Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk1:09.40
Wennemars became the third winner on the 1000 metres thus far in the season, and by the largest margin. Mun Jun set a good time in the seventh of the ten pairs, while the winner of the second race in Heerenveen, Shani Davis, missed the podium by a hundredth of a second in the final pair.

December 2, 2006China Harbin, PR China1000 mSouth Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk1:09.39Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:09.66Netherlands Beorn Nijenhuis1:09.98
Lee Kyou-hyuk took his ninth successive podium place on the 500 and 1000 metres of the season, and his second 1000 metres win of the season, though the winning time was the slowest of all races so far this year. With two top-six skaters missing in Davis and Morrison, Wennemars and Nijenhuis also finished underneath 1:10.00 in second and third position.
December 3, 2006China Harbin, PR China100 mJapan Yūya Oikawa9.58South Korea Lee Kang-seok9.63Finland Pekka Koskela10.20
Yu Fengtong skated 9.60 in the first 100 metres of Saturday's 500 metres, which functioned as a qualifying race. Yu, however, did not start in the final, and Oikawa could defend his position as the fastest starting skater. Koskela was given his place in the three-man final heat due to fourth place in qualifying.

South Korea Mun Jun
1:09.63
Lee Kyou-hyuk completed the weekend with his third win in four races, ahead of four Dutch skaters, though Lee's compatriot Mun Jun squeezed in and split the Dutch contingent. All five Dutch participants finished in the top eight. Davis fell from third to sixth in the overall standings as a result of not competing, while Nijenhuis, who finished fifth in this race, was now third overall.
December 9, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan500 mJapan Keiichiro Nagashima34.91South Korea Lee Kang-seok35.10Finland Pekka Koskela35.16
Nagashima's time of 34.91 was the fastest in the World Cup all season, and a new track record in the M-Wave arena. The win moved him ahead of Lee Kyou-hyuk in the overall standings; the Korean had his run of podium positions broken after skating 35.27 and finishing fourth.
December 9, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan1000 mFinland Pekka Koskela1:09.41South Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk1:09.47Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:09.73
Koskela's took his first A group victory on the 1000 metres; his best placing in the season thus far was sixth in Heerenveen and Harbin. Koskela was 0.15 seconds behind Lee and 0.02 seconds behind Wennemars after 600 metres, but his last lap brought him to the top of the podium. The winning time was the slowest so far this season, as the race took place without Davis and Morrison. Lee increased his overall standings lead over Wennemars to 70 points.
December 10, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan100 mJapan Yūya Oikawa9.62China Yu Fengtong9.69Finland Pekka Koskela9.90

Finland Pekka Koskela
35.13
Nagashima faced Koskela in the final pair, after Lee had beaten Tucker Fredricks' leading time by 0.11 seconds and World Cup number two Lee Kyou-hyuk had placed himself fourth with 35.40. Nagashima was 0.06 slower than Lee Kang-seok from the start, and despite a quicker top speed from both skaters, they crossed the line in the same time, 0.04 seconds behind Lee Kang-seok, who took his first World Cup win of the season.
December 10, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan1000 mNetherlands Jan Bos1:09.40South Korea Lee Kyou-hyuk1:09.62Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:09.76
Bos' first World Cup victory of the season brought him into third place of the overall standings, while Lee would go into 2007 as World Cup leader of the 1000 metres, extending his lead by a further ten points after defeating Erben Wennemars, despite losing 0.49 of a second on the final lap. Bos skated the fastest final lap of the weekend, in 26.72 seconds.
January 27, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands500 mFinland Pekka Koskela35.26United States Tucker Fredricks35.31Russia Dmitry Lobkov35.46
The second World Cup weekend in Thialf was without the Asians, who competed in the Asian Winter Games in Changchun. Thus, Koskela's win, with the weakest winning time so far this season, was enough to take him to the top of the overall World Cup standings. Fredricks' third podium place of the season was a career-best second place, while Lobkov finished on the podium for the first time in two seasons.
January 27, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands1000 mUnited States Shani Davis1:08.91Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:08.98Netherlands Beorn Nijenhuis1:09.07
Davis returned to the long track World Cup, having skipped the races in Asia, by equalling the track record with the second best time in the World Cup circuit this season. Wennemars, skating in the final pair, lost 0.21 seconds to Davis in the final lap, and despite skating the third-best time in the World Cup circuit he could only finish second, but drew level with the non-participating Lee Kyou-hyuk in the overall standings.
January 28, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands100 mNetherlands Jan Smeekens9.84Finland Mika Poutala9.93Poland Maciej Ustynowicz10.26
Three of the top four skaters according to yesterday's qualifying time declined to participate, leaving the field open; Ustynowicz posted the best time of the nine invited to qualify for the final, but then failed in the actual race as Smeekens won his first World Cup victory; it was his first placing among the top five.
January 28, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands500 mUnited States Tucker Fredricks35.27Finland Pekka Koskela35.29United States Shani Davis35.43
Davis competed in his first A group 500 metres of the season, having spent yesterday's race qualifying from the B group. In the second pair, he set a time unbeatable until Fredricks faced Koskela in the final pair of the day. Fredricks stretched his skate out to win by 0.02 seconds, his first World Cup victory, while Koskela's second place gives him a 105-point lead before the final two World Cup races in Calgary. The non-participating Oikawa wins the World Cup overall.
January 28, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands1000 mUnited States Shani Davis1:08.98Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:09.19Russia Yevgeny Lalenkov1:09.55
In this race, Davis skated after Wennemars, and won his second race in a row despite once again trailing after 600 metres. With three World Cup victories, Davis and Lee Kyou-hyuk had thus won the most races; Wennemars had almost secured the World Cup overall, however, needing only a top-five finish in Calgary. Nijenhuis, yesterday's third-placed skater, does not start owing to an injury, and thus Lalenkov takes his first World Cup podium on the 1000 metres, and his first World Cup podium in any event since 2004.
February 3, 2007Italy Turin, Italy1500 mItaly Enrico Fabris1:44.97Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:45.06Canada Denny Morrison1:46.07
The first and second in the overall standings faced off in the final pair, with the third-placed Morrison having taken a one-second lead in the ninth of the ten pairs. He was thus assured of retaining third place; however, Fabris and Wennemars remained in the lead in the overall standings, with Fabris catching up one second on the final lap to win the race by 0.09 seconds and led by virtue of one more victory before the race in Erfurt.

February 4, 2007Italy Turin, Italy5000 mNetherlands Sven Kramer6:18.31Netherlands Carl Verheijen6:18.52Norway Eskil Ervik6:25.69
Kramer's smallest victory margin this season; he opened a second faster than Verheijen in the first 200 metres, then gradually lost until it was 0.21 seconds in goal. Ervik finished third, but in an earlier pair Fabris skated the last 800 metres in 57.9 seconds, nearly two seconds faster than anyone else. He finished a few tenths of a second behind Ervik, however, and Verheijen thus advanced to second in the overall standings.
February 17, 2007Germany Erfurt, Germany10,000 mNetherlands Sven Kramer12:53.17Netherlands Carl Verheijen13:03.76Netherlands Brigt Rykkje13:16.59
With the Norwegians in altitude training in Utah and Fabris skipping the distance to concentrate on the 1500 metres, the Dutch took the top three places on the podium. Kramer skated around the passing times of his new world record from the Heerenveen World Allround Championships for most of the race, but finished three seconds behind, still beating Verheijen's time by more than ten seconds and virtually securing the title. In the B group, Kurt Wubben also skated faster than anyone else.
February 18, 2007Germany Erfurt, Germany1500 mItaly Enrico Fabris1:45.50Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:45.82Netherlands Mark Tuitert1:46.60
Fabris finished first ahead of two Dutchmen, giving him a 20-point lead over Wennemars before the World Cup final in Calgary. Once again Fabris trailed after 1100 metres, where he was behind all five Dutchmen, but the final lap of 27.5 was too strong for anyone. Tuitert made his first A group appearance after promoting from the B group in Torino with a second place there, and finished third. All five Dutchmen were among the top eight.

Despite finishing seventh, Wennemars won the World Cup overall, with Korean Lee Kyou-hyuk missing his chance by 0.10 seconds, though he led the race after 600 metres of the final pair. Morrison, who had not competed in the World Cup since November, returned to beat Olympic gold medallist and world record holder Davis by half a second, having the second fastest first 600 and the second fastest finish.
March 3, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada500 mJapan Yūya Oikawa34.42South Korea Lee Kang-seok34.43United States Tucker Fredricks34.48
Oikawa's race was the eighth fastest 500 m ever recorded, Lee Kang Seok's the ninth fastest, in times significantly better than the previous day.[2] Oikawa did not have the fastest full lap, but a first 100 m of 9.41 helped him to victory, while Fredricks was second-fastest in 9.54. Nagashima and Fredricks faced off in the final pair for the World Cup title, with Fredricks needing to beat Nagashima by two places to take the title, and the 0.14 seconds was enough to win the Cup for the American.
March 3, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada5000 mNetherlands Sven Kramer6:07.48Netherlands Carl Verheijen6:12.75Italy Enrico Fabris6:14.20
Kramer set the first world record of the World Cup season by beating Verheijen by five seconds in head-to-head racing, taking 1.5 seconds on Verheijen in the first 600 metres and gradually increasing the distance between the two. Kramer was ahead of his world record passing times throughout the race, with his smallest lead being 0.2 seconds. For the fifth time this season, Kramer finished first and Verheijen second, thus finishing first and second in the overall standings, and the distance top four was the same as the overall top four.
March 4, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada1500 mUnited States Shani Davis1:42.32Netherlands Erben Wennemars1:43.24Canada Denny Morrison1:43.43

Davis was faster than the world record on every lap, except for the last one, where he was 0.01 second slower with a lap of 27.68 seconds. The time stood for the last two pairs. In the final where Wennemars fought Enrico Fabris for the distance title, with both having 440 points before the race. Wennemars set a personal best by 0.27 seconds to beat Fabris by a second.
March 4, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada100 mJapan Yūya Oikawa9.55Japan Joji Kato9.74Poland Maciej Ustynowicz9.83
Oikawa set the fastest time in all races, while Yu Fengtong, who finished second to Oikawa in the first qualifying heat, had to see that Kato and Ustynowicz skated slower than he did in the final heat without being able to get better than fourth place. Oikawa thus won the World Cup title, with three of four race victories.

She trailed Nesbitt by two tenths of a second before the final lap, but her last lap of 29.30 seconds was the best of the afternoon, and also 0.7 seconds better than Friesinger.

Olympic champions Germany, without Friesinger, finished third as Wüst got her first win of the season, along with long distance World Cup leader Groenewold. The Dutch had set the benchmark in the second of the four pairs, and the Canadians – who trailed Germany at the halfway stage – could only complete the second half in the same speed as the Dutch, thus finishing 1.1 seconds down.
November 25, 2006Russia Moscow, Russia5000 mGermany Claudia Pechstein7:04.95Germany Daniela Anschütz-Thoms7:05.36Czech Republic Martina Sáblíková7:06.01
2002 Olympic silver medallist Gretha Smit won the B group in a time of 7:01.25, faster than anyone in the A group. None of the top three skaters in the aggregate standings (Groenewold, Wüst, Groves) competed in the race. Anschütz-Thoms was within 0.01 seconds of Pechstein with 800 metres to go, but faded away; in the last pair Sábliková, the best ranked of the competing skaters, opened slowly and could not catch the two Germans.
November 26, 2006Russia Moscow, Russia1500 mGermany Anni Friesinger1:56.40Canada Christine Nesbitt1:58.04Germany Daniela Anschütz-Thoms1:59.77
Friesinger extended her run of victories to six, and in the absence of Wüst, Anschütz-Thoms made it into third place, though she was beaten by more than three seconds, the largest distance between first and third in the World Cup this season measured in samalog points.
December 2, 2006China Harbin, PR China500 mSouth Korea Lee Sang-hwa38.23Germany Jenny Wolf38.30China Wang Beixing38.32
Lee Sang-hwa prevented Jenny Wolf from taking her third straight win at the 500 metres, pipping her by 0.07 seconds to overtake Wolf in the World Cup overall standings. She had a 10-point advantage before the second day's race.
December 2, 2006China Harbin, PR China1000 mItaly Chiara Simionato1:16.99Netherlands Marianne Timmer1:17.63China Wang Beixing1:17.64
With all of the top four skaters in the World Cup rankings not competing, seventh-ranked Chiara Simionato made her first top-3 spot of the season a win. The time would not have been good enough for a podium place in any of the other World Cup races so far this season, though. She finished 0.64 in front of second placed Marianne Timmer who finished in 1:17.63, just 0.01 in front of Wang Beixing. Wang Fei missed out on the podium, a further 0.01 seconds back.
December 3, 2006China Harbin, PR China100 mChina Xing Aihua10.31 WRGermany Jenny Wolf10.41South Korea Lee Sang-hwa10.59
Wolf was fastest on the opening 100 in Saturday's 500 metre race, but was beaten by Xing, whose 10.31 was tied with Svetlana Zhurova's three-year-old world record. Lee's time was beaten by Wang Beixing in the B final.
December 3, 2006China Harbin, PR China500 mGermany Jenny Wolf38.41South Korea Lee Sang-hwa38.47China Wang Beixing38.59
Wolf was drawn against Lee in the final pair, and held on to her 100m advantage despite Lee's attack from the outer lane. In the second to last pair, Wang opened in identical time to Aihua Xing, but beat her by 0.16 seconds after the final curve.
December 3, 2006China Harbin, PR China1000 mItaly Chiara Simionato1:17.14Netherlands Marianne Timmer1:17.65Netherlands Annette Gerritsen1:17.78
Though the gap was narrowed from yesterday's race, Simionato still won by 0.51 seconds, while Gerritsen got her first podium place in the A group. Simionato thus took over the overall World Cup lead from Anni Friesinger, despite the latter being unbeaten all season on any distance.
December 9, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan500 mSouth Korea Lee Sang-hwa38.52Germany Jenny Wolf38.71Netherlands Margot Boer38.81
Lee and Wolf occupied the top two places for the fifth successive time this season, while the absence of Beixing Wang, five-time third-place finisher this season, opened a chance for others. Boer, who was ranked 13th overall before this race, skated the fastest last lap of the day with 27.94 (shared with Lee) to take her first career podium place.
December 9, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan1000 mCanada Shannon Rempel1:16.88Italy Chiara Simionato1:17.23Japan Nao Kodaira1:17.53
Simionato, who won two World Cup victories in Harbin, extended her overall lead to 58 points despite being beaten by Rempel, who won her first World Cup race and was on the podium for the first time in two seasons. Simionato had to start alone in the final pair, as Ren Hui did not start.
December 10, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan100 mGermany Judith Hesse10.51South Korea Lee Sang-hwa10.65Russia Svetlana Kaykan10.66
Hesse's first place in the top six of a World Cup race was a win; the time of 10.51 was only beaten in the semi-final by Lee Sang-hwa, and she was beaten in the final race. Lee takes over the lead in the overall World Cup, as the winner from Harbin, Xing Aihua, did not take part.
December 10, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan500 mSouth Korea Lee Sang-hwa38.30Germany Jenny Wolf38.32Japan Sayuri Yoshii38.74
Lee takes Wolf from the last inner lane, winning by 0.02 seconds to extend her lead in the overall World Cup. Yoshii's best placing in this season's World Cup before this race was 11th, but after skating the third-fastest opening she takes third place.
December 10, 2006Japan Nagano, Japan1000 mItaly Chiara Simionato1:17.14Netherlands Marianne Timmer1:17.33Canada Shannon Rempel1:17.69
Simionato back on top, as yesterday's winner Rempel was slower on the first 200 and the final lap. The positions in the race were identical to the positions in the overall World Cup standings; the undefeated Friesinger was now fourth.
January 27, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands500 mGermany Jenny Wolf38.16Russia Svetlana Kaykan38.62Netherlands Annette Gerritsen38.99
Five of the top six in the World Cup did not participate; four Asians due to the Asian Winter Games and Timmer due to illness. Thus, Wolf took victory by the largest margin on the 500 metres thus far this season. Gerritsen finished on the podium for the first time this season, having sixth and eighth place as their best so far, while Kaykan went one better than at the World Sprint Championships for her first World Cup podium.
January 27, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands1000 mCanada Cindy Klassen1:16.53Germany Anni Friesinger1:16.70Italy Chiara Simionato1:17.23
Klassen's first World Cup race this season ended in victory, with Friesinger recording a time more than 1.5 seconds poorer than at the World Sprints in Hamar a week before, thus losing a World Cup race for the first time this season. World Cup leader Simionato is best of the rest, but stretches her overall lead to 124 points.
January 28, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands100 mChina Xing Aihua10.31Germany Judith Hesse10.74Japan Sayuri Yoshii11.08
Germans Wolf and Hesse faced off in the final for the World Cup title, with fourth-placed Kaykan declining to start and first-placed Lee competing in China. Wolf won the race, and also set a personal best by skating the third-fastest time ever.
January 28, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands500 mNetherlands Annette Gerritsen38.93Italy Chiara Simionato38.97Netherlands Margot Boer39.00
With no Kaykan and a fall from Wolf, Gerritsen wins her first World Cup race ever; before this weekend her best placing on the distance had been eighth. However, the time of 38.93 would only have been enough for a podium place in one of the nine previous World Cup races. Wolf's fall means Lee was trailing by 72 points before the two final races, meaning Wolf would have to make two second places to be assured of overall victory.
January 28, 2007Netherlands Heerenveen, Netherlands1000 mGermany Anni Friesinger1:15.97Canada Cindy Klassen1:16.02Netherlands Margot Boer1:17.27
Friesinger and Klassen skated in the final pair, and were in a class of their own, Friesinger thus went 3–1 up in meets between the two skaters, though Klassen won the aggregate for the day. Simionato, who finished fourth, now required only a top-30 finish in the final race in Calgary to win, while Boer got her first 1000-meter podium.
February 3, 2007Italy Turin, Italy3000 mCzech Republic Martina Sáblíková4:03.88Netherlands Ireen Wüst4:04.40Canada Cindy Klassen4:05.51
Sáblíková took over the lead in the distance standings with her first World Cup win of the season. Skating in the first pair against Olympic 5,000 metre gold medallist Clara Hughes, who also made a return to the World Cup, Klassen set a time of 4:05.51 despite finishing with a lap of 35 seconds, the second-worst of the day. It took until the ninth pair to beat it, when Wüst faced distance World Cup leader Anschütz-Thoms, and Wüst kept just ahead of Klassen for the entire race. Then, in the final pair, Sáblíková overtook Groenewold with two laps to go; Groenewold tired, while Sábliková's final 32.4 was more than half a second better than anyone else.
February 4, 2007Italy Turin, Italy1500 mNetherlands Ireen Wüst1:55.01Germany Anni Friesinger1:56.16Canada Cindy Klassen1:56.38
Having skipped the 3000 metres, Friesinger made it 4–1 against Klassen, but was nevertheless distanced by almost a second by Wüst, whose 1500 was more than half a second better than Friesinger had made thus far this season. Wüst showed strength before the World Allround Championships at home in Heerenveen the following week, and advanced to third in the overall standings.

None of the first four in the overall 1500 metre World Cup competed in this race, which was won by Russia for the first time after a quick opening, leading by one second over any competitors after three laps. The Netherlands team, who finished third after failing to keep up with Canada in the final two laps, remained in the lead in the overall World Cup.
February 17, 2007Germany Erfurt, Germany1500 mGermany Anni Friesinger1:56.10Netherlands Ireen Wüst1:56.59Canada Kristina Groves1:57.13
After successive defeats to Wüst in Turin and at the World Allround, Friesinger responded by winning on home soil and taking an almost unassailable 150-point lead into the World Cup final in Canada. Friesinger skated in the last pair, and skated a race almost even with Friesinger, except for the last lap which went by in 31.59 seconds, the second-fastest of the day. Canadians Nesbitt and Klassen skipped the meet.
February 18, 2007Germany Erfurt, Germany5000 mCzech Republic Martina Sáblíková6:50.39Germany Claudia Pechstein6:57.68Germany Daniela Anschütz-Thoms7:00.49
Sáblíková repeated her feat from the Heerenveen World Allround, winning by more than five seconds, though Pechstein was considerably closer than in Heerenveen. Pechstein skated in the last pair, but despite skating a flat race with no lap times above 33.5 she could not beat the 19-year-old Czech, who could win the distance World Cup with a fifth place or better in the final in Calgary.

Russia skated a second and a half better than in Turin, and led for five of the six laps; however, the German long-distance specialists went past on the final lap. The Dutch finished third, still without van Deutekom or Groenewold, but won the World Cup overall.
March 2, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada500 mChina Wang Beixing37.61Germany Jenny Wolf37.72Japan Sayuri Osuga37.83
Wang, who had skipped several meets to win gold on this distance at the 2007 Asian Winter Games, now took her first victory at an ISU-organised event since November. Wolf won the World Cup for the second season running, as her only competitor Lee Sang-hwa finished seventh, while Osuga pipped Shihomi Shinya by 0.01 seconds for her first podium place since November 2005.
March 2, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada1000 mNetherlands Ireen Wüst1:13.86Canada Christine Nesbitt1:14.42Canada Kristina Groves1:14.51
Wüst had competed in five ISU-organised 1000 metres this season, and finished on the podium behind Friesinger at all times. However, Friesinger was absent due to illness, and Wüst used the opportunity to skate the fourth-fastest all-time 1000 metre.[3] Four Canadians finished among the top six.
March 3, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada500 mChina Wang Beixing37.32Japan Sayuri Osuga37.66Germany Jenny Wolf37.71
Wang took her third win of the season, one fewer than Wolf and Lee, while Osuga and Wolf swapped places after Wolf skated a slower opening 100 metre than yesterday. After her two podium places, Osuga finished fourth in the distance rankings.
March 3, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada1500 mNetherlands Ireen Wüst1:52.38Canada Kristina Groves1:53.58Canada1:53.80
As in the 1000 metres, it was Wüst ahead of the Canadians, as the World Allround Champion skated the third-fastest 1500 metre race of all time,[4] passing the absent Anni Friesinger on the all-time distance list and in the overall World Cup standings for the season. Wüst was fastest on all laps except the second.
March 4, 2007Canada Calgary, Canada3000 mCzech Republic Martina Sáblíková3:57.04Germany Daniela Anschütz-Thoms3:58.59Canada Kristina Groves3:58.62
With two laps to go, Sáblíková was fifth, but as she was one of only two to skate the final lap below 32 seconds, she took the victory and the distance Cup title, as well as a runner-up place in the world all-time list to Cindy Klassen. Anschütz-Thoms needed to beat Groenewold and Pechstein to take second place in the overall standings, and did so despite trailing Groenewold for the first two thirds of their race.
