competition
Women
The women's all-around competition was decided between the Czech Martina Sáblíková and the Japanese defending champion Miho Takagi , with Sáblíková winning two world records over the long distances of 3000 and 5000 meters and thus becoming the all-around world champion for the fifth time since 2009. One week before the all-around world championship, Takagi had won the silver medal at the sprint world championship in Heerenveen. She ran the fastest times on the two shorter courses (500 and 1500 meters) and had a lead of 15 seconds on Sáblíková, which she could not maintain, before the final 5000 meter race. After the competition, Takagi said she was completely exhausted after the Sprint World Championships and the first three stretches of the All-Around World Championships. The reigning European all- around champion Antoinette de Jong from the Netherlands took third place in the overall ranking . De Jong was dissatisfied with her own performance, but given the superiority of Sáblíková on the long distances and Takagis on the shorter distances, she was satisfied with the bronze medal.

As in the previous year, the Dutchman Patrick Roest won the world title in the all-around competition in front of Sverre Lunde Pedersen from Norway. At 23 years old, Roest was the youngest of the eight finalists. He won the 5000-meter and 10,000-meter races and came second on the other two courses. Pedersen was also one of the three fastest athletes on all four distances and in the end was almost one point ahead of third-placed Sven Kramer . Kramer - with nine all-around titles since 2007, record world champion - was disappointed, but stated that the inconsistency of the results corresponded to the course of the season.

500 meters
Antoine Gelinas-Beaulieu ran the fastest time over 500 meters in the second of twelve pairs. Later in the competition, both Patrick Roest and Sverre Lunde Pedersen set personal bests and took second and third place. Roest faced Sven Kramer in a direct duel and beat him by 0.67 seconds. Kramer saw the reason for the defeat in his bad start. He thought he had caused a false start and was briefly irritated that the race was not stopped.

1500 meters
In the last run there was a direct encounter between the two overall leaders Sverre Lunde Pedersen and Patrick Roest. Pedersen crossed the finish line two tenths of a second ahead of the Dutchman, which meant that Roest only lost a small part of his points lead in the ranking. All other athletes, including Sven Kramer, were already well behind in the overall standings at this point.

10,000 meters
Patrick Roest had a lead of 4.5 seconds over Sverre Lunde Pedersen before the final 10,000 meter race. The first best time was set by Ted-Jan Bloemen. Pedersen, who ran against Douwe de Vries in the third run, missed Bloemen's time. Roest - in the fourth and final duel with Sven Kramer - was still behind Pedersen on the first eight laps, but increased his split times towards the middle of the race and ultimately undercut the previous record. With his second track win, Roest also won the all-around title.
