 Ladies Allround Podium: (L-R) Jutta Leerdam, Joy Beune and Elisa Dul (NED)

Joy Beune (NED) and Allan Dahl Johansson (NOR) were crowned World Junior Allround Speed Skating Champions in Salt Lake City on Sunday. The Dutch Ladies won both the Team Sprint and the Team Pursuit while Republic of Korea took both Team disciplines in the Men's side. 

In her last ISU World Junior Championships before moving up to the senior age group, Beune skated an almost perfect tournament, sweeping together five world records (1000m, 1500m, 3000m, Team Pursuit and Combination) to beat team-mate and defending champion Jutta Leerdam (NED). Elisa Dul (NED) completed the all-Dutch Allround podium with the bronze medal. The Dutch ladies left only two medals for other skaters in the whole tournament, which were both taken by Japan. Kurumi Inagawa (JPN) took the Lady World Junior Speed Skating Champion 500 meters for 2018 title and Lemi Williamson (JPN) took bronze in the 3000m.
