Day 11 saw the Russian lead over Norway halved with the USA also clawing back ground on the top nation. Whilst the 1st 6 teams now seem to be decided, 7th to 10th are now separated by just 7 points. A new name to the table is that of New Zealand who come straight in at 26th.
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.
No 8th place in women’s short track relay as the Dutch were disqualified from the event.
