Though her final lap only came sixth, it was good enough to win her first race on the 1000m, after five race wins on the 500m. Anni Friesinger, who finished first or second on the distance in all her eight major international starts last season, took second, while Wang Fei took her first podium place after beating Canada's Christine Nesbitt, WSD bronze medallist in 2007 by 0.01 seconds on the final lap; the two had identical passing times at the 600m mark. 2007 World Cup winner Chiara Simionato took 5th, the 2007 WSD gold medallist, Ireen Wüst finished 7th, while world record holder Cindy Klassen placed 11th.

Davis had been involved in a conflict with US Speedskating and had threatened to not start at the meet, but after late negotiations he had turned up at the start.Skating season opens, Jared Eborn, Deseret Morning News, retrieved 10 November 2007. Wennemars took an early lead of four-tenths of a second, and despite a good second lap by Davis, he was never quite able to beat the Dutch skater. Wennemars was behind Davis' world record lap times from Calgary throughout the race, but a final lap of 27.56 saw him equal the world record mark, lowering his personal best by nearly half a second; Davis took to second place six-tenths behind. In the final pair, Denny Morrison skated the race's fastest third lap with 25.95, distancing pairmate Yevgeny Lalenkov by half a second, and was just one tenth behind Wennemars when the bell rang for the final lap, but was unable to keep up the pace to the end. 10 Nov Women500 mISU 1. Jenny Wolf GER 37.22 4. Xing Aihua CHN; 5. Marianne Timmer NED; 6. Ren Hui CHN; 7. Sayuri Osuga JPN; 8. Heike Hartmann GER; 9. Chiara Simionato ITA, 10. Lee Sang-hwa KOR; B 1. Yuliya Nemaya RUS 2. Wang Beixing CHN 37.45 3. Sayuri Yoshii JPN 37.90 Wang and Wolf faced off once more, and with last outer lane, Wolf took the win and joined Wang on top of the aggregate World Cup standings.

Koskela was three-tenths of a second slower over 600 metres, but had a better finish. In the 13th pair, Lee Kyou-hyuk matched Koskela's opening, but lost four-tenths of a second on the final lap, and though Wennemars in the 14th and Davis in the 15th had better finishes than Koskela, they had lost too much time early on.

Unlike in his last world record race, in Calgary in March, Sven Kramer did not have the knowledge of his foremost rivals' times, and had to set the pace himself. He set out with laps around 29 seconds, and was two seconds ahead of his Calgary world record at one point, but lost time with 29.5-laps towards the end. In the following pair, Enrico Fabris gave away two seconds in the opening kilometre, but skated a race around the world record time. With one lap to go, he was 0.03 seconds behind the world record and 0.47 seconds behind Kramer's time today; however, a finishing lap of 28.58 saw him take both the record and the race win.

The decision came in the final pair, when Wotherspoon and Davis faced off; Wotherspoon gained a second over the first 600 metres, and though Davis produced the fastest last lap of the race and clocked a time 0.01 behind his PB, he had to leave Salt Lake City without a win despite three podium places.

Bøkko, who was ranked eighth, took his first podium on the distance, where his best performance before the season had been 9th, and Fabris advanced from sixth to second in the overall standings. Women5000 mISU 1. Martina Sáblíková CZE 6:53.67 4. Claudia Pechstein GER; 5. Kristina Groves CAN; 6. Cindy Klassen CAN; 7. Catherine Raney USA; 8. Diane Valkenburg NED; 9. Maki Tabata JPN, 10. Katarzyna Wójcicka POL; B 1. Gretha Smit NED 2. Clara Hughes CAN 6:56.63 3. Daniela Anschütz-Thoms GER 6:58.58 Sáblíková remains unbeaten on the longest distance, while Hughes entered the podium for the first time in a top international race since the 2006 Olympic Games. In the B group, Gretha Smit repeated her performance from last season's World Cup meet in Russia, by winning the B group in a faster time than the A group. 2 Dec Women1500 mISU 1. Anni Friesinger GER 1:55.39 4. Kristina Groves CAN; 5. Diane Valkenburg NED; 6. Yekaterina Lobysheva RUS; 7. Katarzyna Wójcicka POL; 8. Marrit Leenstra NED; 9. Martina Sáblíková CZE, 10. Claudia Pechstein GER; B 1. Jorien Voorhuis NED 2. Christine Nesbitt CAN 1:56.00 3. Daniela Anschütz-Thoms GER 1:57.10 Nesbitt was defeated for the first time this season, losing 0.8 seconds on the first lap, which she never recovered. Friesinger thus advanced from sixth to third in the World Cup standings. The podium was identical to the race in Moscow last year, with Anschütz-Thoms taking her first podium on this distance since then. Cindy Klassen was disqualified from what would have been a fifth place after impeding Friesinger in the changeover.

Bøkko skated the last five kilometres in 6:28, ten seconds faster than the first five. Prinsen took his best place in an official World Cup race, beating the time of Olympic gold medallist de Jong, while in the B group Loy skated 13:14 for a new French record and the second fastest time of the day.

Groenewold took her first win since Berlin in November 2006, inflicting the first defeat on Sáblíková after staying below 32.2, while the Czech touched 32.5 on the final laps. Wüst, who took podium places in all starts on distances longer than 500m last year, now took her first World Cup podium of the season.

The last lap of 27.86 seconds was decisive; Morrison and Tuitert lost over three-quarters of a second on the final lap.

At that point, however, Nesbitt's pairmate Groves was equal with Friesinger, but could not keep up with Friesinger's final lap, the fifth-fastest of the day.
