Nils van der Poel has won in every 5,000m event he's been in this season.
He's got to be the favourite.
Men's 5,000m
Oooh, Canada's Ted-Jan Bloemen, silver medallist in 2018, moved into lead early in his run but faded badly and ends up down in eighth place.
That means Patrick Roest is guaranteed a medal, but will it be gold?
The Dutchman still leads with just one pair to go - but here is Nils van der Poel...

BBC Red Button
Japan very much holding on to their 1-0 lead at the end of the second period. China knocking on the door but as yet no way through a sea of white jerseys.
This is a cracking match and you can watch the action unfold over on the red button. Well, once play resumes in a few mins anyway!
Men's 5,000m
A penny for Patrick Roest's thoughts?
He is sitting in the gold medal position with just two pairs to go - though one of the pairs includes world record holder Nils van der Poel.
Hope you are well wrapped up Sarah. What was it the other day, 17 layers?, external
As pointed out by Sweden's cross-country ski team it's perishing, external as the day goes on.

Men's 5,000m
Patrick Beckert of Germany and Italy's Michele Malfatti are next to go - and they finish way off the leaders.
We've had 14 of the 20 skaters and it is still Dutchman Patrick Roest in the gold medal position.
Read our minds Team GB although obviously plenty more to come as well.

Men's 5,000m
Jorrit Bergsma and Seitaro Ichinohe fail to threaten the medal positions.
Patrick Roest leads, with Norway's Hallgeir Engebraaten second and Sergei Trofimov of the Russian Olympic Committee third.
Four pairs to go....

Sweden's Nils van der Poel is in the final pairing. He's the world record holder. It will be interesting to see what he can produce.
Men's 5,000m
Back to the National Speed Skating Oval we go for the second half of the men's 5,000m final.
Patrick Roest of the Netherlands is currently in the gold medal position, with three-time Olympic champion Sven Kramer certain to miss out on a medal.
Another Dutchman, Jorrit Bergsma, and Seitaro Ichinohe of Japan are the next pair to go.
Women's ice hockey
I think it's fair to say that China's Group B match against Japan has been a competitive/combative affair so far. Then again when isn't it physical in ice hockey?
Japan are sitting pretty at the top of the group after winning their opening two matches, while China have won one and lost one so far.
That said, you'd still expect both these sides to advance to the last eight.
Here is that impressive performance from Alexander Bolshunov, who dominated the field to claim his first individual gold medal.
Women's ice hockey
What. A. Shot. Japan's Akane Hosoyamada rockets the puck past China's goalkeeper Jiaying Zhou, who didn't even see that one coming.
The hosts finish the first period 1-0 down having had the better of things early on.

Andrew Musgrave has been speaking to BBC Sport after his 17th-place finish in the 30km skiathlon.
"It was a battle, it is one of the most nuts races there has been," he said.
"The gaps were massive and it is one of the hardest races I've done."
He added that it was "absolutely wild" how quick winner Alexander Bolshunov went.

Very good indeed from Patrick Roest. I don't think there was anything left in the tank at all.
Men's 5,000m
We have a new leader!
European champion Patrick Roest surges into the gold medal position at the halfway stage.
Hallgeir Engebraaten is bumped down to second, with Sergei Trogimov third.
Three-time champion Sven Kramer is now outside of the medal positions.
Just joining us? Here are some of the highlights from day two so far in Beijing:

Hallgeir Engebraaten certainly has put the cat amongst the pigeons with his time.
Men's 5,000m
There will be no fourth gold for Sven Kramer!
A really impressive skate from Norway's Hallgeir Engebraaten puts him into the lead, with Sergei Trogimov of the Russian Olympic Committee second.
Kramer pushed down into the bronze medal position as it stands.
