Kjeld Nuis backed up his 1,500 metres title from yesterday by adding the 1,000m gold in a time of 1min 08.21sec.

The double success for the six-time World Championship medallist comes despite him suffering from a sore shoulder, which he suffered after crashing into a tree when cycling at a training camp.

This was his third victory over the distance this season and sees him lead the World Cup standings.

Second place went to American Shani Davis who finished in 1:08.57 as Jin-Su Kim of South Korea took bronze in 1:08.63.

In the men's 10,000m, Sochi 2014 Olympic champion Jorrit Bergsma was timed at 12:52.20 to record victory over the longest distance.

He edged team-mate Erik-Jan Kooiman, who was second on 12:57.92, with Ted-Jan Bloemen of Canada third with a time of 13:00.07.

Jorrit's victory was part of a double celebration for his family after wife Heather Bergsma, competing for the United States, won the women's 1,000m competition.

She recorded a third win over the distance this season in 1:14.60 to edge out home skater Marrit Leenstra who managed 1:14.73.

Bronze went to another American as Brittany Bowe stopped the watches at 1:15.03.

In the women's 5,000m, Czech triple Olympic champion Martina Sáblíková topped the pile.

She was timed at 6:57.64 to comfortably finish in front of Germany's silver medallist Claudia Pechstein, who ended with a time of 7:00.82.

There was Dutch bronze as Melissa Wijfje finished in 7:02.51.

The next Speed Skating World Cup will be held in German capital Berlin from January 27.
