After winning the Senior men's 300m Time Trial last night, Nicole Begg and Scott Arlidge of NZ have just won their Senior Men and Women 10,000m points elimination races. For such a small team, they are really dominating this competition. New Zeland is now 3rd in the medal tally ahead of the great skating nations of the USA, Colombia and Italy. The host nation Korea is leading the medal tally.

In the Junior Women's 10,000m points elimination, Catherine Peñan added to her gold in the 15km points last night to win another gold today. She ripped the field apart with no-one coming anywhere near her. In the Junior men's race, yesterdays winner from Korea Um blocked the pack while his teammate Kwak broke away for the win. In the Senior Ladies event, Nicole Begg took an early break-a-way which was a very risky and calculated move. She gained points lap after lap while knowing that she would get reigned back into the pack and needed to keep enough energy in the tank so she did not get eliminated. If the Korean had of won the final sprint, she would have won it, but the Colombian Holguin who won the elimination last night piped her at the line for the line honors which gave the win to Nicole Begg. In the men's race, Arlidge did the same thing as Begg and went early and amassed points. The Colombians and Italians chased but couldn't catch him on points. With 10 laps to go the New Zealander had won the race if he can just not be eliminated. And he did just that, holding on for the win. The Korean Nam took line honors and the silver medal. Coach Bill Begg said after the race that these skaters did all the hard work for years and thoroughly deserve the wins.

The 1000m finals will follow in a few minutes time.
