A big jump in level for the final on Sunday, Liiv improved the Estonian 500 m speed skating record with a time of 35.123 (+0.66) seconds, good enough for 14th place for the event. Emotions are still good. The most pleasing thing is that I was 14th. This means I should remain in Division A. I should not drop out as I have enough points, Liiv told Vikerraadio on Sunday evening.
