The women's 3000 metres speed skating competition of the 2014 Sochi Olympics was
held at Adler Arena Skating Center on 9 February 2014 at 15:30 MSK.[1] The
competition was won by Ireen W�st from the Netherlands, who previously won the same
distance at the 2006 Winter Olympics. Martina S�bl�kov� from the Czech Republic,
the defending champion, finished second, while Olga Graf won the bronze medal.

The race featured three Olympic Champions at this distance: S�bl�kov� of 2010, W�st
of 2006, and Claudia Pechstein of 2002. Pechstein, also the Olympic record holder,
finished fourth. Stephanie Beckert, the silver medalist of the 2010 Winter
Olympics, finished 17th.

Kim Bo-reum in the third pair took an early lead, and her result was subsequently
improved by Yuliya Skokova in the 6th pair, Annouk van der Weijden in the 8th pair,
and Olga Graf in the 10th pair. Pechstein in the 11th pair was racing better than
the Graf's pace for most of the distance, but in the end lost to the Graf's time.
In the next two pairs, first S�bl�kov� and then W�st took the lead, each of them
beating a track record, pushing Pechstein out of the medals. In the last pair,
Antoinette de Jong finished seventh, leaving Graf as a surprise medal winner and
the first medal winner for Russia at the 2014 Olympics. None of the athletes posted
time better than 4 minutes.[2]
