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. 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

Koskela, ranked seventh on the World Cup list last season, took his second 1000m race win by beating Shani Davis' two-year-old world record by 0.03 seconds. Earlier, in the seventh pair, Jeremy Wotherspoon had clocked 40.62 over 600 metres, with his second full lap faster than on his world record race yesterday; his last lap was only the 16th best of the 27 finishers. Koskela was three tenths of a second slower over 600 metres, but had a better finish. In the 13th pair, Lee Kyu-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.

In the absence of Anni Friesinger, winner of four World Cup races and WSD silver medallist last season, due to caution over poor health, and with last season's World Cup winner Ireen Wüst in poor form, the Canadians dominated. Nesbitt, fourth in the World Cup last year with seven individual podiums on 1000 and 1500 m races under her belt, now set a personal best with 1.7 seconds to take her first World Cup win. Nesbitt took the lead after 700 metres, and no one could match her last two laps either. Groves, who finished third in the World Cup lead last year, was upstaged by her younger compatriot, while Simionato, who finished 19th in the World Cup last season, took her first podium on the 1500 metres in the World Cup in three years.

The fourth of four possible world records. 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. Norwegian Håvard Bøkko took his first individual podium in a World Cup race.

Though Koskela withdrew due to fears over a thigh injury, which would later keep him out of the Calgary meet, the race was still at a high class, with four races among the top six of all time. In the 12th of 15 pairs, both Mun Joon and Jan Bos skated more than two tenths below their personal bests, with Mun taking the pair due to a better opening lap. Two pairs later Lee Kyu-Hyuk opened in 16.19, four tenths faster than Mun, and kept his lead till the end. 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. Wotherspoon, the race winner, took over the World Cup lead.

Klassen and Groenewold came in later pairs, but were unable to beat Sáblíková's times, though they took their first podium places of the World Cup season.

This time, the draw had failed to give a Wolf–Wang meetup, and Wolf skated first in the ninth pair with last outer.

With two laps to go, Groenewold had a second's lead, and had a worst lap of 31.04; then Sáblíková rallied, and kept her lead in the last outer to win by a skate. Runner-up from last weekend, Cindy Klassen, struggled with her last laps of 33 and 35, losing six seconds to Sáblíková in the final lap to finish 11th, while a quick opening enabled Groves to beat Pechstein and take third in the overall World Cup standings behind Sáblíková and Groenewold.

He had the fifth fastest time after 1100 metres, but Lalenkov (in the eighth pair), Wennemars (in the ninth) and Davis (in the tenth) all lost considerable amounts to Kuipers' last lap of 27.06.

Kramer ensured Fabris' reign on the 5000 metres was only seven days long, as a race with laps below 29 until 3800 metres was enough to secure victory.

Simon Kuipers faced Shani Davis in the ninth pair, and TV pictures indicated that Kuipers had beaten Davis, despite the electronic clocks showing Davis 0.02 seconds ahead. Kuipers was initially awarded the third place, but after long referee deliberations, he was put back to fifth as the electronic timing system were trusted. According to Dutch skating referee Jacques de Koning, the rule used by the referees in Calgary to reinstate the timing results was incorrect.
