The rain last weekend's games for the Univé Skate Off the Job Skeeler Skeeler Club East Veluwe Heerde kept very much in its grip. Was there Saturday with rain starting, so the matches were postponed until a quarter past four in the afternoon because at that time was dry. Sunday started well but the prospects were so dry that it was decided not to ride on the parabolic track but on the asphalt track that is around it. In retrospect a good move, because soon after the start of the games started to drizzle. The drizzle of rain that was gradually into increasingly intensified.
For participants, audience and organization from all this was a lot colder as the days past. Yet despite the cold and wet, there was question of good races with a large international participation. Several categories were on the podium many nationalities can be found. On the Sprint Distance to the Senior Men's podium was still well stocked with the Dutch Toppers, brothers Ronald and Mulder Michel won on their home track Sprint. In the 300 meters was over two tenths Ronald seconds faster than brother Michel. Together with the Australian Daniel Greig, they were the only ones who could stay under 27 seconds. Michel had a time of 26.438 seconds while Michel for the distance needed 26.693 seconds. 500 meters on the two brothers were also in the final, along with Belgian Bart Swings and Frenchman Lepivert. The klasbak from Belgium knew the two brothers behind him to keep Ronald was just before half brother Michel. On stage, the third completed by Bart Swings.
At longer distances might be Bart Swing the highest place of the podium climb. He knew the knockout race on Saturday with his team Cado Motus so check that Bart in the sprint victory could easily within reach. Sunday at the points race Bart could not win the price because his brother and teammate Martin Swings off there was Crispijn Ariëns. Crispijn Ariëns Martin finally managed to defeat because he just knew more points to glean. This allowed the Dutchman Crispijn best sixth in the final standings get. Unfortunately not enough to just a few of the prize of 10,000 euros to do. The events made clear that the Dutch still some work to do before they travel to the European Championship skating this year be held in Italy. Because after Crispijn Dutchman was the next in the final standings can be found only in 14th place. Very well, the 18th place of local rider Jasper Dijk Battle are listed as first-year senior, he could do pretty well along with the world class players. He means that the fourth Dutchman, he had not previously dreamed of.
In women, the longest distance dominated by the New Zealand Nicole Begg both distances to win. Second, the small French to German Leatitia le Bihan Tina Struver. Fourth was living in the Netherlands Australian Brooke Loch Country. Best Dutch was sixth place Mariska Huisman. On the Sprint Distances victory went to Colombia, the world champion Puello Ortiz was second on the 300 meters and a victory over the 500 meters for the largest U.S. Erin Jackson and the winner of the 300 meters Italian Erika Zanetti. Bianca Roosenboom could not go further because of an injury as the fifth place in the final outcome.
In the junior girls, the German Alisa Gutermuth doing well, she knew the Sprint standings to win the Colombian Delgado and strong driving Mandy Large. Long distance, the Colombian Valencia Gardana three French ladies in charge. Great Mandy was again the best Dutch with fifth place.
In the junior boys were the first prizes in France, Aurélien Roumagnac from the French Juniors selection was the strongest long distance while his compatriot Souze the Danes was the strongest in the Sprint. On the Sprint knew Lars Shin Strasburg good honor the Dutch to defend third place overall, while the Long Distance Wim Dillen prices fell just outside the sixth place.

On Long Distances were Belgian girls Vicky Jacobs, Sandrine Tas and Ellen Catsije of the stage populated. Dear Dutch, Beau Wagenmakers.
