The Dutch have a new Nike suit, which is still tight and need some adjustments when it's put on, because there is a separate layer inside. The Finnish have been using Lorini suits for some time and Lorini also appeared with new suits this week.

The Dutch had their suits already before the national championships, but weren't allowed to skate in them then. If that was to ensure a fair selection of the team, it is certain that the suits have some effect. The race practice during the coming World Sprints should let us know, how much.
