Brittany Bowe went nearly two years without winning a 1500m World Cup, and now has won on consecutive Saturdays. This is the first time in Bowe’s career she has won back-to-back 1500m World Cup races.
Her two wins are the only 1500m races of the 2020-2021 ISU World Cup Speed Skating season – which typically has six World Cup events but was altered to a far shorter season held in a hub atmosphere in Heerenveen, Netherlands – giving Bowe the 1500m World Cup season title, which she last won in 2019. Bowe also won the 1500m season championship in 2016.
