Norway's Havard Lorentzen blazed to men's 500m speed skating gold in an Olympic-record 34.41sec at the Pyeongchang Winter Games on Monday. Lorentzen, 25, pipped South Korea's Cha Min-kyu by just one-hundredth of a second, with Chinese skater Gao Tingyu 0.24sec adrift.

It was the 10th title of the Games for Norway, taking them one clear of Germany at the top of the medals table.
