Nao Kodaira was not as fast as she had been on Friday, but 38.26 seconds was more than enough to secure her second 500m win of the weekend. Vanesse Herzog of Austria took her fourth consecutive silver medal in 38.56, while Bowe took her second bronze medal of the day, after the 1500m.

Kodaira and Herzog extended their lead as one and two in the 500m World Cup ranking. Olga Fatkulina of Russia came sixth on Saturday and dropped to fifth place in the ranking behind her compatriot Angelina Golikova and Bowe.

Without Olympic champion Nana Takagi of Japan and Olympic bronze medalist Irene Schouten of the Netherlands, the ladies' Mass Start field seemed to be decapitated, but Kim Bo-Reum of South Korea was present to take the honors.

Esmee Visser of the Netherlands was the first to set-up an attack in a race that was hampered by many crashes in the back of the bunch. Claudia Pechtstein of Germany countered and Visser never really managed to get away from the pack. Her compatriot Mellissa Wijfje took over the lead in the penultimate lap, while the bunch was gearing up for a final sprint.

Lollobrigida went to the front for the final lap and was still in the lead on the final straight, but Kim came from behind to edge her out on the line and take the gold medal. Lollobrigida got silver and the Canadian skater Ivanie Blondin came third.
