The female 1500 m also was fairly predictable, like most of the other distances. Several participants scored 5 points with the right winner and a good time prediction: Carool van Kesteren, Rik van Kesteren, Erick Vogelzang, Kees de Vroege, Brigt Bø, Bert Steghuis, Ivar Hansen, Bjørn Hagen and Arild Jensen. Most of the rest scored 4. But there are a handful who predicted a Sáblíková win, and of these, Gerrit Stevens uncannily predicted her exact time. Though this did not turn out to be a winner time, so it did not help him that much. But there certainly is a lot of precise time predicting here.
Now we can add the points for the 9th to 12th place overall, too, and the ones qualified were, in the order of their 1500 + 3000 m samalog ranking: 9.Graf 80,458 10.Njåtun 80,871 11.Skokova 81,213 12.Pechstein 81,231. The best predictors here were Arild Jensen, Joe Gier, Marcel Warnaar, and Håkon Mørk with 4 points. 7 others had 3. This means that Joe keeps his lead over Håkon and extends it over much of the others before the two final distances.
