> Kyu-Hyuk Lee who opened just as fast, only to finish in 1.07,51
> The present #3 is Michael Ireland, who opened in 16,17 to finish in 1.07,99
>
> Kyu-Hyuk Lee also has two 1.07,07 results, one out of a 16,18 and one out of a 16,19. These are the five fastest openers of all time, none under the 1.07,00. There have undoubtly been even faster openers on the 1000m, only to finish with a time above 1.08.00, but they are not in my spreadsheet of 150 fastest 1000m results.

> Well then, is the 600m passage important? Again not for the final result. Jeremy Wotherspoon has the fastest four 600m results,
> a 40,52 -after that 16,16!- ending in 1.07,31;
> a 40,56, ending in 1.07,03; a 40,62, ending in a 1.07,34 and
> a 40,67, ending in a 1.07,57
> Only the 5th ever 600m passage made it under the 1.07.00: Pavel Kulizhnikov’s 40,73 -after a 16,22 opener- brought him to 1.06,70.
>
> The first full round is much more important to the final result, but not a perfect predictor either.
> Jeremy Wotherspoon again is the best here:
> a 24,32, ending in a 1.07,34;
> a 24,36, ending in a 1.07,31 and
> a 24,37, ending in a 1.07,03 (the same of the 40.56 600m passage and including a top-5 16,19 opener)
> a 24,38, ending in a 1.07,57
> Only the 5th ever first full round brought the first sub-1.07,00: Vincent DeHaitre’s 24,48 (after a 16,73 opener, ending in 1.06.72)
>
> Is it the last lap then? Again, not a perfect predictor(but the best we have). The man with the most devastating final 1000m lap is the American ‘sprinter’ Brian Hansen. Okay, you did not expect that, did you?
> Brian Hansen managed a final lap in 25,23, finishing in 1.07.03 after an opener that would Erben shout “TOO SLOW” in the studio (16,80), followed by a 25,00 lap, resulting in a totally unimpressive -to Erben- 41,80 and then that astounding 25,23. I would cry “TOO LATE” in the studio.
> The 2nd fastest final lap on the 1000m comes from the man you’d expect: Shani Davis. His worldrecord 1.06.42 was made witha final lap of 25,24 and he both opened faster than Brian Hansen (16,67) and had a faster first lap (24,51) but at 600m he had not yet anything to show (41,18)
> The 3rd fastest final lap is also from Shani Davis. His 1.06.88 was skated with a final lap of 25,30 after an opener of 16,96 and a first lap of 24,62 resulting in an unremarkable 600m of 41,58. The final lap did it here too.
> The 4th fastest final lap is again from Shani Davis. His 1.06,67 was done after a meagre 16,85 opener and included the 6th fastest first lap in 24,50 (600m an unremarkable 41,35) followed by an impressive 25,32
> The 5th fastest final lap is from another American ‘sprinter’: Trevor Marsicano. He opened -to Erben’s tears- in 17,00 and let that be followed by a reasonable 24,55 (10th ever first lap) giving 41,55 but his final 25,33 really did the trick: 1.06,88
> The 6th best final lap is by Kjeld Nuis, who opened in 16,63, had a first lap of 24,50 (also 6th ever) and a final lap of 25,38.
> In order to improve, Kjeld needs to skate only a little bit faster laps
>
> 16,63 – 24,45 (41,08) - 25,30 (1.06,38)
> and if he combines it with the opener of his 2nd best result
> 16,35 – 24,50 (40,85) – 25,50 (1.06,35)
