Jens van ’t Wout won the 1,500 metres at the World Tour in Montreal, bouncing back from a costly mistake in the 500m final, where he brought down fellow Dutch skater Teun Boer in the last corner.
The Olympic champion controlled the 1,500m and kept his rivals from challenging for the lead. Canada’s Felix Roussel finished second and Japan’s Shogo Miyata third.
Van ’t Wout’s crash had denied Boer what Nieuws.nl described as a certain victory. The Dutch skater celebrated his own win in Montreal with restraint, the report said, attributing that to apparent embarrassment over the earlier incident.
A week earlier, at the World Tour in Vancouver, Van ’t Wout had won all three individual distances: the 500m, 1,000m and 1,500m.
