While van Muilwijk increased the pressure on Swets, it was Sarah Geurkink who passed Nooijens. Swets had to let Muilwijk pass in the sixth round, but the lady from Geldermalsen did not give up easily. She managed to stay close to Muilwijk until the finish, but had to settle for second place in the heat. Van Dam crossed the finish line third ahead of Sarah Geurkink and Nooijens.

Once again it was Swets who was the fastest ahead of Muilwijk, Lynn Kelders, Nooijens and van Dam. In the second lap Muilwijk managed to take the lead and van Dam passed Nooijens.
