Fast ice but only one foreign Master

The first DMC was, with a lot of masters on the start, a good first one of the three. With 117 skaters, there were 162 SB’s, 49 PB’s and also 2 National Junior Records (beside the DMC there was place to let also not-masters skate during this evening). Although the competition now is open for all Masters of the world, only one ‘non-Dutch’ was at the start, Thomas Rumpf (M55) from Germany. The next DMC will be on Saturday 10 December in the “11stedenhal” in Leeuwarden. Masters will remember this place from the MAG2016! And on Sunday 6th January 2018 the last Cup of the three competitions will be in Enschede, IJsbaan Twente.
