Annette Gerritsen has stormed to her third title at this year's Dutch national speed-skating championships at the Thialf arena in Heerenveen.
She swept to victory in the 1500 metres for women with a time of 1.58.69, ahead of her nearest rivals Ireen Wüst and Diane Valkenburg.
The win completes a hat-trick for Gerritsen, who has also taken the 500 metres and the 1000 metres at this year's championships.
In the men's 1500 metres, Rhian Ket was the surprise winner. His time of 1.45.89 was enough to take the title ahead of Mark Tuitert and Stefan Groothuis.
