Other records

The Netherlands won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the women's 3000m event, making it a Dutch podium sweep.[26]

Participating nations

A total of 184 athletes from 29 nations (including the IOC's designation of Olympic Athletes from Russia) were scheduled to participate (the numbers of athletes are shown in parentheses).[27] Colombia was scheduled to make its debut in the sport. A record number of nations qualified to compete in these games, with the previous high being 25 at the 1998 Winter Olympics.[28][29] This marked increase was mainly due to the fact that participants from Denmark, France, Belgium, Austria and Colombia started out as inline speed skaters, but due to the non-Olympic status of the sport, they started combining both inline speed skating and ice speed skating in order to compete at the Olympic games.
