What to remember
Inzell hosted a World Cup round on 24 January 2026. Norway's Sander Eitrem covered the 5000 m there in 5 min 58.52 s, an average of 50.20 km/h.
From Skreia in Østre Toten, Eitrem is an allround skater who leans towards the long distances. In 2022, at Vikingskipet in Hamar, he finished fifth overall at the World Allround Championships. At the 2023 European Championships he won the 5000 m and came second overall behind Patrick Roest.
His European allround title came in January 2025 at Thialf in Heerenveen, along with Norwegian records over 5000 and 10000 m. Later that month he improved his national 10000 m record again in Calgary.
