"When the girls do so much work for you, you also want to finish it off," Vos said in press release. "I knew: if I'm in the front and have good legs, it's a finish that should suit me."

"Yet, there is a certain tension because it’s a tough finish and it's the seventh day. I tried to follow Kristen and Elisa and felt it would hurt. At 200 meters I put an extra acceleration and saw that no one could follow."
