Since 2007 Martina Sáblíková had won each of her nine world championship races over 5000 meters, but at the Olympic Games in 2018 she was beaten by Esmee Visser, who was nine years her junior, with back problems. In Inzell, Visser clearly improved Sáblíková's eight-year track record by almost five seconds in the fourth of six races, while Natalja Voronina also remained below the old best in the fifth run. Sáblíková, who competed against Ivanie Blondin in the last pair, was based on Visser's times and was able to run out a lead on her younger rival, especially in the last lap. She won her 19th world championship title.

Claudia Pechstein was seventh and achieved the only top ten result for the German women at the home World Cup in Inzell. She ran the same time as in 2011, when she won the bronze medal in the 5000 meters.

Neither succeeded in reaching the times of Verbij and Krol; After the competition, Nuis stated that he had concentrated too much on Kulischnikow and too little on his technique.

The 32-year-old Sven Kramer, who had won the last five world titles in the 5000 meter distance, was beaten by the six and nine years younger Sverre Lunde Pedersen and Patrick Roest. Kramer continued his time as the first of the three medalists in the seventh of ten pairs. With 6: 12.53 minutes he missed his own track record from 2010 by one and a half seconds. In the penultimate run, Pedersen clearly undercut this record. Roest, who ended up in a duel with Patrick Beckert, was faster than Pedersen in the first laps, but fell clearly behind the Norwegian in the second half of the competition. Pedersen became only the second non-Dutch 5000 meter world champion after Chad Hedrick in 2004 and 2005.

Jorrit Bergsma ran a race in the fourth of six pairs that he himself classified as “solid, but not outstanding”. In the fifth run, Patrick Beckert took second place. Finally, Patrick Roest and Danila Semerikow ran. Roest led the race for the first six laps, but then lost time on Bergsma and was more than two seconds behind his teammate with 400 meters to go. On the final lap he made up more than three quarters of his deficit, but didn't quite reach Bergsma and won the silver medal. Semerikov beat Beckert by two thousandths of a second; the German thus just missed his team's only medal at the home World Cup in Inzell.
