10 March 2024 at 14:57 Lunde Pedersen can end his career with a WC medal Sverre Lunde Pedersen and Hallgeir Engebråten are both in the medal position in the all-round WC in skating after Sunday’s 1500 metres. The Norwegian duo are respectively in 3rd and 4th place before the final distance of the championship. American Jordan Stolz leads the Norwegians by almost a minute. Dutch Patrick Roest follows in silver, 33.38 seconds behind the American. This means that a Norwegian battle for the bronze is on the cards. Bart Swings is also in that fight. Lunde Pedersen and Engebråten went in pairs and pushed each other all the way in the 1500 metres. This resulted in 4th and 6th place respectively over the distance with times 1.43.97 and 1.44.09. Thus, Lunde Pedersen also passed his team-mate in the summary. – It’s a great race by Sverre, who is clearly in good shape. We haven’t seen that form in Sverre for a very, very long time, said VG commentator Ida Njåtun. In the previous pair, Sander Eitrem went against Belgian Bart Swings and clocked in at 1:44.33. The 22-year-old thus continues in 6th place in the summary and has only four scant seconds to Lunde Pedersen in bronze. The Norwegian all-round boys had a very good start to the championship on Saturday. Engebråten opened with a new personal best in the 500 metres, before Eitrem also persevered in the 5000 meters later in the day. Lunde Pedersen also delivered two solid races, and thus there were suddenly three Norwegians fighting for precious metal before the last day. The championship ends with the 10,000 meters later on Sunday. Both Håvard Holmefjord Lorentzen and Martine Ripsrud ended their careers after Friday’s sprint WC. On Sunday, Sverre Lunde Pedersen puts his skates on the shelf after the last distance in the all-round WC. (NTB)
