Since the mass start event gained World Championship status in 2015, three different women had won gold: Irene Schouten (2015), Ivanie Blondin (2016) and Kim Bo-Reum (2017). All three women, all with World Cup titles on their resumes as well, qualified for PyeongChang. But there were many others vying for the inaugural title: successful inline skater Francesca Lollobrigida, five-time Olympic champion Claudia Pechstein, and the strong Japanese team with Ayana Sato and Nana Takagi.

The semi-finals already cut some of the favorites out of the equation, as Blondin fell in the second heat and took out Sato. In the final, Estonia’s Saskia Alusalu tried to escape the peloton, gaining half a lap. But when the group geared up, her advantage quickly faded, being caught with around two laps to go. At the bell, Schouten tried to make it into a long sprint, which caused a fracture in the pack. In the final curve, the crowd cheered on Kim as she and Takagi chased Schouten. Both of them passed the Dutchwoman, and Takagi held on until the finish line, ahead of Kim and Schouten. Takagi is the sister of Miho who won medals in the 1,000 and 1,500 m in PyeongChang and also skated on the golden Japanese pursuit team.
