competition
Women
In the absence of defending champion Jorien ter Mors , who suspended the season due to injury, Nao Kodaira - 2017 world champion - won her second world title and, together with Miho Takagi, achieved a Japanese double victory. Takagi's medal success was considered surprising because, according to her coach Johan de Wit , she concentrated on the all- around world championships a week later . After the competition, Takagi stated that her dream was to reach the podium in both the sprint and all-around world championships in a year. 2019 was the last option for this, as both world championships were held together on one weekend from 2020 onwards. In fact, Takagi also won the silver medal at the all-around world championships. American Brittany Bowe came in third ahead of Vanessa Herzog from Austria. The reigning 500 meter world champion Herzog was only a few hundredths of a second behind Kodaira in the first run on the sprint course.
