The tournament is also interesting for all players to collect points to improve their ranking towards future European Championships, World Cups and Olympic Games. For the Netherlands, among others, the Duinwijckers Meerte Loos and Florine Wille will take to the track.

“We are very happy that we can welcome so many participants again and that the Asian countries are also coming to Haarlem as usual” said tournament director Jules Bakker.
