CALGARY – The Netherlands won women’s team pursuit and Canada took second at a speedskating World Cup in Calgary.
The Dutch laid down a time of two minutes 52.2 seconds in the six-lap race at the Olympic Oval.
Ottawa’s Isabelle Weidemann and Ivanie Blondin, and Valérie Maltais of La Baie, Que., skating in the final pairing with the United States finished in 2:52.68.
Japan placed third just over half a second back of the Dutch.
Weidemann, Blondin and Maltais are the reigning Olympic champions in the event after taking gold in Beijing in 2022.
The Canadian trio opened the World Cup season with a silver medal in Salt Lake City and repeated it in Calgary.
