The Points Table – Day Nine

Only 4 sets of medals were awarded on Sunday and, whilst Norway and the USA closed the gap on Russia, the top 3 remained unchanged. The Dutch brilliance at speed skating pushes them into 4th place ahead of Canada and Germany with Bulgaria being the 30th and latest country to score.

The scoring table is as follows;
1st 8 points
2nd 7
3rd 6
4th 5
5th 4
6th 3
7th 2
8th 1
If countries are level on points their single best result is the tiebreak
